The emphasis of this course will be on the getting to know some tools and methods used in sustainability assessment. We will analyse several existing case studies to see how the methods and tools were applied. Issues of scale (case studies at global, regional and local level) and of stakeholders (who to involve) and of future-proofing (scenario studies) will be addressed. Content wise the course will focus on sustainable food chains. One of the great challenges of our time is feeding the extra billions of people to live on the planet.
