Prerequisite(s): A minimum grade of C in ECO 1380 or a minimum grade of C in ECO 1305 and 2307 or a minimum grade of C in ECO 2306 and 2307; and a minimum grade of C in MTH 1321. Over 3 billion persons are food insecure around the world, and, of those, almost 1 billion are malnourished. Ensuring that no one suffers from hunger is one of the key challenges facing our world today. The World Food Economy course provides an understanding of why food insecurity exists and what can be done to alleviate food insecurity. The first half of the course is structured around global agricultural supply chains and the process of bringing food from farm to home. This will include some of the key challenges and opportunities facing the supply chain including agricultural biotechnology, a changing climate, and global trade patterns, etc. The second half of the course covers global food demand. Like with supply, we will cover some of the key factors influencing food demand including income growth, prices, changing preferences for food, and social safety net programs. BBA students must have a declared major to enroll in this course.
