Innovative Education towards Sustainable Food Systems
In face of global population growth, resource constrains and growing environmental as well as public health concerns, there is a strong need for a shift towards a more sustainable development. As most of the mentioned global problems are strongly influenced by the current unsustainable food systems, high priority is given towards developing strategies to improve sustainability of current food production and consumption models. At the same time there are hardly any study programmes and modules targeting this important subject globally, and the sustainable food is still a niche market in many European countries, hardly supported by well-educated and skilled university graduates.
An Analysis of students' understanding of the ‚Sustainable food system' and expectations towards education within this subject area has been an international survey on the expectations and needs of students towards educational modules/topics/methods within the subject of sustainable food system in the study programmes/courses. The survey has been done in each of the 8 Universities participating in the project (altogether more than 700 entries). At this stage data per country have been analysed & elaborated in the form of country presentations.
