Challenges & Solutions in the Global Food System
The Business, The Ethics, The Change
4 Week Instructor-Led Online Course
Commences 17 February - 16 March 2025
What Will I Learn?
The Challenges and Solutions in the Global Food System is a course that introduces participants to the realities, myths and challenges faced head-on in our food supply chain. We discover probable causes and possible solutions to waste, over and under supply, and dependence on plastics, but get ready to explore provocative arguments, debunk accepted norms and take gastronomic thinking through its paces - past, present and future.
With a focus on the logistical and operational aspects of the global food chain, this course explores key causes and consequences related to outcomes at all levels. The global significance – environmental, social, economic – of where food is from, how it is produced (processed, pack-aged and distributed), sold, and consumed, is presented as a series of challenges to long-held perceptions of ‘good food / bad food’ within a ‘future of food’ context.
