Course overview
This course aims to provide students with an understanding of the complex interactions between biophysical climate parameters, energy production/use, natural resources, and ethical issues that contribute to food production. This will be achieved by providing in-depth understanding of global climate change impacts on plant growth and food production systems. The course will highlight the importance of understanding the mechanisms by which a changing climate will affect plant performance and food production, integrating concepts of biology, climate science and science communication gained by students in previous courses thus developing an advanced understanding of the drivers of sustainable food production.
