Food systems are a complex web of activities and actors engaged in the production, processing, transport, retail, trade, consumption, and waste of food. Food systems are deeply entangled with the climate crisis. They are both victims and drivers of climate change, shaped by and shaping a world of increasing volatility—through extreme weather, supply shocks, geopolitical instability, and ecological decline. This course critically examines these feedback loops across the global food system—from production and trade to consumption and waste—while interrogating potential solutions for transformation. The course introduces systems thinking and explores how climate change affects each node of the food system—and how food systems in turn impact climate and planetary health. Through deep-dive case studies, applied debates, and field engagement, students will develop the tools to assess trade-offs, envision futures, and grapple with the ethical and practical challenges of creating food systems that are just, sustainable, and resilient.
