SUMMARY:Food security in an urbanising society
DESCRIPTION:Today already more than half of the world’s population l
 ives in urban areas. By 2050 this will be risen to two-thirds. The con
 tinuous increase of urban population is due to factors like rural-urba
 n migration, natural disasters or livelihood insecurities. Providing f
 ood and nutrition security for the rapidly expanding populations in th
 e world’s cities is a pressing challenge in this changing world. Del
 ivering nutritious food to cities is a complex problem that is also ch
 allenged by natural resource scarcity, climate change, and population 
 growth, which affect food systems globally.\n\nCourse objectives\n\nPa
 rticipants get well acquainted with the framework of city region food 
 systems in relation to food and nutrition security in densely populate
 d areas.\nParticipants are able to use the concepts of city region foo
 d systems to analyse urban food and nutrition security issues.\nPartic
 ipants are able to use different designs, methods and approaches, and 
 their interrelationships, in planning for food and nutrition security 
 in urbanizing societies.\n\nTarget audience\nThe course is open to int
 ernational participants and to MSc students of Wageningen University, 
 preferably active in one of the following fields: rural/urban/spatial 
 planning, agribusiness development, rural/urban livelihood governance,
  food and nutrition security and sustainable development. Several year
 s of professional work experience and at least a BSc level are additio
 nal assets. Proficiency in English is a must.\n\nMore information and
