Food and International Development

This course provides students with an economic perspective on issues in international development related to food, agriculture, and household behaviors. Different economic theories and approaches are used to understand various economic phenomena in the development context. Students are encouraged to consider critically an economic approach to the analysis of development issues related to food and agriculture, alongside the perspectives of other social science disciplines. Throughout the course, food and agriculture as development issues are considered primarily on a micro level, with a special focus on household behavior and decision-making.
