No tilling.

It as an OK introduction, though it stays very much on the surface. Gently stroking the topics, mostly concluding with "it's complicated", "it depends", "there are no simple answers". I was hoping to dig a bit deeper, or get directions on where and how to learn more.

This course is really helpful to understand food systems in present times especially with context to sustainable energy, renewable energy, perennials, landscape diversity, circular economy etc

A very mind transforming course indeed. It is an addition to me as a graduate of Agricultural Extension

A comprehensive course on navigating the current field of sustainable food systems. I had particular interests in some novel perspectives, such as the motion to introduce perennial crops, switchgrass, and to evaluate intensive farming strategies to contribute to sustainability. Although the course was structured and well-paced, I found it difficult to take notes and take much away from the interview-style videos. It was sometimes frustrating to pull apart key points and takeaways. Overall, the course provided me with an appreciation and introductory insight into the general systems thinking approach to food production.

El curso sin duda plantea temas muy interesantes y me ayudo a comprender el sistema alimentario desde otra perspectiva, con respecto a las mejoras que se podría considerar es que el aprendizaje sea mas didáctico con pruebas o tareas que signifiquen un reto. ademas de proporcionar recursos complementarios del curso. Me ha gustado mucho el curso, lo recomiendo.

The course is well-documented and has diverse sources and perspectives. However, when I enrolled, I was mainly interested in hunger and food insecurity in the context of climate change at the global level. Unfortunately, it quickly appeared that this course was 75% intended for US students, which dramatically shows in the final assignment topic, which is 100% US-centred. That said, I learned a lot, and I appreciated the short summaries made by the main teacher at the end of each presentation.
