Overview
Even small climate changes can have large-scale consequences in agriculture and food systems with devastating effects for the people and their economies. 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 that help us predict the impact of climate change on agriculture and food systems.
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.Programme Structure
