t is increasingly recognised that reductionist approaches to tackling food-related issues are ineffective and that a more comprehensive, holistic approach is required if we are to better understand the many ways that food affects and shapes our lives, and effectively address the many injustices and inequalities that are manifest in the current food system.
This course takes an experiential approach to answering these questions and many others. Your studies will be brought to life with field trips to a diverse range of food-related businesses and organisations – from supermarket distribution warehouses to Michelin-starred restaurants, large-scale farm operations to artisan food producers, campaigning organisations to government research centres.
Through input from a wide range of specialist, expert and industry speakers, you’ll gain exposure to the diverse influences that affect how we produce, transform, utilise, represent, understand and consume food. Scotland is most often the showcase for this, although the concepts covered are transferable to other countries.
Applicants with a UK Honours degree or equivalent.
