About the event

Food Systems and Sustainability | Systemau Bwyd a Chynaliadwyedd
Join a CAT student teaching week and examine global and local food systems, the interplay of economics and politics on the production and consumption of food, as you explore how we can create more sustainable food systems.

Through a series of lectures, discussions, and practical activities you will learn alongside our postgraduate students on our MSc courses including our Masters in Sustainable Food and Natural Resources, Sustainability and Adaptation, and Sustainability and Ecology.

You will experience what it might be like to study on one of our postgraduate courses at CAT and gain invaluable knowledge and skills around how we can transform our food systems to create a fairer, healthier, more sustainable future

---Key information---

Duration: five days
Upcoming dates: Monday 1 December – Friday 5 December
Start and finish times: starts at 10am and ends at 1pm on the last day
Fees: £700
Includes: tuition, all materials, lunch
What to bring: good boots and waterproof clothing is advised

Attendees will receive a certificate of attendance for joining the course at the end of the week. You will not be able to do the final assessment and this will not count toward any accreditation. If attendees wish to enrol on a postgraduate course at CAT and take the module within their future course, they will be able to receive a discount on tuition costs.

---What you will learn---

To rise to the climate and biodiversity emergency, and to adapt to environmental changes, we need to radically transform our food systems. These systems are shaped by the interplay of economics, legislation, labour issues, poverty, technology and consumer behaviour on the production and consumption of food. On this short course, participants will explore this interplay and what we can do to bring about change.

Topics covered include:

Food production trends
Global and local markets
Vertical integration of agriculture
Transportation
Economics
Labour
Environmental externalities
Poverty, food and health, diets
Sustainability
Food sovereignty

---How will I learn---
Through pre-reading and some pre-recorded introductory lectures, live in person lectures, discussions, group activities and practical activities at CAT.

This short course is part of the teaching week for the MSc module Cities and Communities. Please be aware there may be some activities and content during the week only available to students, where an activity isn’t appropriate for the short course attendee, we will endeavour to arrange a replacement activity.
