Forms of instruction

The course has 12 sessions of 2 hours, each consisting of a lecture part, student presentations and interactive elements. The students are encouraged to actively participate, ask questions and discuss issues of common interest.

The lectures are designed to outline the topic in general, highlight illustrative examples and discuss some salient points. The student presentations will more specifically introduce key topics of the global food system. This is meant to bring in interesting and current food topics into the classroom and to enable further discussions. The discussion part will be open regarding upcoming questions and adapted to the students’ interests.

To prepare each session, the students are required to read the selected ‘basic readings’ (see session overview).
