On Climate Change and Resilience in Food Systems at University of Leeds by FutureLearn , you will learn strategies designed to mitigate the impact of climate change, develop resilient food systems and create sustainable development in local communities.
Explore new research methods
- After understanding the concept of a food system, you’ll be introduced to the GCRF-AFRICAP programme and learn new methods that are being developed and used to analyse future direct and indirect climate impacts on African food systems.
- You’ll then investigate how scenario approaches and modelling tools are being used to inform policy responses.

General requirements
- This course is designed for anyone interested in the effects of climate change and creating resilience and sustainability in food production and food systems.
- The strategies and techniques presented in the course are based on research that has taken place in various sub-Saharan African countries but they can be used in other parts of Africa and across the world.
- The course will be particularly useful if you have an interest or a background in agriculture, environment or food science and you want to learn how current research can have a positive effect on communities.
- Since the course examines the implementation of these strategies across a food system where different parties other than farmers are involved, it can provide inspiration to policymakers, charities and other non-governmental organisations
