Climate change is a defining challenge for global food systems, affecting agriculture, water resources, infrastructure, health, and biodiversity. Understanding the science behind climate change and the strategies available for mitigation and adaptation is essential for developing sustainable and resilient food supply chains.
This course provides students with a foundation in climate science, greenhouse gas emissions, and environmental impacts, while focusing on practical solutions in land use, food production, urban planning, and energy systems. Through real-world examples and applied analysis, students will explore how the food sector can respond to a changing climate and contribute to global sustainability goals.
