Understanding Food and Climate Change: A Systems Perspective

Abstract
Climate change will profoundly affect our lives in many ways, even down to the very food we eat. Food is essential for survival and our complex food system, and all that depends on it, face a big threat with climate change. Throughout the semester we will explore the links between the food system and our changing climate with an emphasis on systems thinking. In science we tend to segregate, looking at just one part of a system, while systems thinking looks at the whole picture. Using this approach, we will think critically about how to build a more resilient food system, considering everything from what farmers grow to how it is transported to the grocery store, that can mitigate some of the effects of climate change and make our food system more resilient in the face of climate change.
