    We need to rethink about how and where we produce and consume our food. Countries need to balance food production with imports. Suppliers need to ensure we have food all year long at low cost and high quality. Climate change and a growing world population are putting pressure on governments, producers to plan ahead for food security. This course gives you the skills and tools to help address these global challenges.
