Agriculture and food are diverse sectors that are facing rapid change. From climate change to shifting demographics, from new technologies to new social movements, our food systems are in flux. Amidst this change, we cannot forget that food is a primary need, it makes up the world's largest industry and it plays a central role in culture and society.
At the UOC, we approach the study of food through a study of systems. Food systems are the organization of the production, processing, distribution, selection and consumption of food.
