Sustainability in the Food Supply Chain
In the first lecture of this course a general introduction on sustainability is given. Moreover, the different aspects of the food supply chain are discussed. The focus will be on why we need to consider sustainability, how to define sustainability and how various sustainability aspects can be considered within the food supply chain.
The students will then analyze a scientific paper on the topic which they need to present in class, and they will write an essay on how to transform a (self-chosen) food product into a sustainable version.
