The purpose of this course is to understand what are the elements and dynamics of resilient food systems – as well as the people, communities, relations, and policy that contribute to resilience. Impacts of rapidly globalizing food systems on food and nutrition security at local, household, and intra-household levels will be explored, highlighting interactions with gender identities. These issues promote a great deal of debate and have encouraged the development of a number of modern initiatives to counterbalance socio-economic and environmental effects related to these changes.
