在保护我们赖以生存的自然系统的同时，全球面临的挑战要比养活不断增长的人口所需的挑战要少。<br>到本世纪末，世界人口预计将达到110亿，对系统的需求已经全部存在。时代的高点，至关重要的是我们找到新的方法来养活不断增长的人口而又不破坏地球。<br>提高农业食品系统的有效性和可持续性对于应对全球人口增长，快速城市化，粮食等挑战至关重要以及环境安全，饮食与健康。这些挑战影响到富裕的中低收入国家。解决这些问题是使成千上万人摆脱贫困的关键，也是许多联合国可持续发展目标的核心。
There are fewer bigger global challenges than feeding the growing human population well, while protecting the natural systems on which we depend. With the world population expected to reach 11 billion by the end of this century and demands on systems already at an all-time high, it is essential that we find new ways to feed the growing population without destroying the planet. This programme applies economic principles to critical topics for developing international agri-food systems. You will develop analytical skills in production and consumption economics, the evaluation of trade and government intervention, advanced modelling and econometrics, and apply them to a range of issues relevant to the production and consumption of food. The focus on quantitative training and on both developed and developing countries provides a perfect grounding for individuals wishing to work for international and national agencies, including the FAO and OECD. It also provides opportunities for working within agri-food and related industries or can provide a platform for further study at postgraduate level.
