Thinking about food chain systems and how they can sustain the ever-increasing human population, currently, we are confronted with one of the world’s most pressing issues: how to feed a growing population without depleting global resources.
From the environmental impact of food production to the public health impacts of current and future diets, this course covers food security from a food chain systems approach and shows the key global concerns present.
We investigate how food systems and non-food policies, such as climate change and biodiversity conservation, interact.
