Università Roma Tre

This module will examine several key questions, including:

- What are the causes of hunger and malnutrition? Who is vulnerable and why?

- How do the various actors involved in food provisioning - from producers to consumers - interact in different kinds of food systems, with what impacts on people and the planet?

- What policies can and should public authorities, at various levels, adopt to promote the food security and right to food of people living within their territories and future generations?

- What changes would be opportune to achieve more inclusive and effective food governance and more equitable and sustainable food systems, taking into account lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic? What needs to happen to bring these changes about?

The objective of the module is to provide students with analytical capacity and practical tools to be able to develop and defend their views regarding questions like these and prepare them to play an effective role in food security policy processes and field programs. Students who may be interested in pursuing an academic path should also benefit from the combination of theoretical and ‘ hands-on’ approaches.
