The Food Chain: What Happens As Your Food Goes From Farm to Table
Credits: 3
Grad Meth: Reg, P-F, Aud
GenEd: DSHS, SCIS
How can we feed a growing global population, reduce farming's environmental damage, and provide a healthier diet, all in the face of climate change? The course explores these global food system challenges in the context of the food supply chains that link farms, input providers, traders, food processors, retailers, consumers, and governments. We assess how supply chains are organized; how they use technologies; and how they can create organizations, develop new technologies, and adapt food production practices to meet these four major challenges facing the global food system.
