How do we produce not only enough food, but enough of the right kinds of food, to nourish a growing population? In this course we define global food security and position it within the landscape of nutritional problems. We then discuss key challenges associated with food production and food distribution including climate change, weak supply chains, and changing dietary patterns. Finally, we learn about current efforts to improve global food security through policies, programs, and new technologies. This course is suitable for students with an interest in food, nutrition, global health, environmental sustainability, and complex systems.
