| Kurzbeschreibung | Food security has been on top of the policy agenda for decades, but still a considerable proportion of the population in developing countries remains hungry and malnourished. This lecture series will explore how we produce and distribute food; analyse the concept of food security and discuss ways and means for increasing the availability and accessibility of food in developing countries. |
| Lernziel | The student will be able to - describe the most important milestones in the history of food and agriculture - understand the concept of food security and discuss causes and impact of food insecurity - compare different approaches to promote and increase crop- and livestock production in a sustainable manner - reflect on some of the main economic challenges of the world food system and understand some of the tradeoffs between smallholders' decisions of labor, consumption, and production of food - give insights in how international organizations work with farmers and governments in developing countries to ensure availability and equal access to food |
