Food Systems and Climate Services

Credits: 3 Fall 2024: Time and location TBA

There is an urgent need to address the sustainability challenges of agri-food systems in a changing climate. This course builds on mixed methods integrating applied economics, management and information, policy, and system analysis tools to understand (and potentially solve) the complex interactions of food systems with natural and human processes. This interdisciplinary course welcomes students with different backgrounds interested in sustainability, food systems, and climate management and policy at a global and Community based scale, with particular emphasis on the Global South. It involves a weekly lecture and one practical hour session per week for a small-medium-sized group.
