New Edition of the Advanced School in Food Policies and Sustainability

The 2011 edition of the University of Gastronomic Sciences Advanced School is designed to investigate sustainable food policies and analyze the ways in which they are defined and articulated in the member states of the European Union. It will be delivered in the form of an online program, taking place from mid-October to mid-December 2011. The following key themes will be explored:

Agriculture and Rural Development
Oceans and Fish
Health and Consumers
Research and Innovation
Climate Change
Sustainable Education
Development and Cooperation
Energy and Environment

The first four weeks of the program will be dedicated to constructing a panorama of the eight thematic modules and a detailed introduction to each sector; two modules will be covered per week. During the following four weeks, students will conduct their research, identifying and mapping the best practices in food policy in their selected EU country.
