Handbook

This is the first of two courses in which you will learn about the food chain - from farm to fork. This course will cover the primary and secondary industries. You will develop a sophisticated understanding of the food system that will enable you to work in a broad range of food and nutrition-related sectors. You will study the journey of food and learn to critique the processes by which nutritious food is made accessible to individuals and populations. You will explore the factors that determine the availability or scarcity of food, including agricultural and trade policies, laws, conflict, climate change and industry decision-making, and how these factors impact people’s ability to maintain physical, social and cultural wellbeing.
