This micro-course looks at some of the causes of climate change and its effects on food security and food justice in particular. It discusses food and nutrition in relation to the geography of community spaces and presents various food insecurity scenarios at individual and community levels.

It also looks at:

  • coping mechanisms that have helped people and communities to become resilient — for example, innovations in sustainable agriculture and subsistence food production to counter threats to livelihoods
  • traditional best practices and the alignment with location-specific conservation of natural resources
  • small-scale and traditional food processing techniques for preserving food for sustenance and survival
