Food Systems and Sustainable Development

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

This course introduces students to the fundamentals of food systems in the context of sustainable development. The course investigates how we ended up with the current food system and the key components of food systems, the key drivers shaping food supply and demand, as well as health, environmental and equity outcomes. Examination of our current system is supplemented with studies on the future of food systems and sustainable transitions. The sustainability performance of food systems is examined in relation to land use, climate change, nutrient cycles, biodiversity and water use. The course provides an overview of work being done to improve sustainability through novel technology like alternative proteins, circularity, robots and AI from production to consumption.
