Food System Resilience (Participation)

'This course provides a detailed understanding of the various components of a food system, its resilience and its interlinkage with food security. The resilience of the food system during an external shock such as a natural disaster or a pandemic will receive special focus in this course. Government sponsored food and nutrition assistance programs and their effectiveness will be discussed at length by drawing on case studies from both developed and developing countries. Global food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic and government response strategies to mitigate the adverse impacts of the shock will be critically assessed.'
