BriCASFR Online Courses on Sustainable Food Resources
BriCASFR provides online education on climate & sustainable food resources. Focus areas include natural resources including climate, impacts, mitigation and sustainability initiatives.
Climate impacts food production, and food production impacts climate. To minimize impacts and create sustainable food systems, the global community is rapidly implementing various initiatives: Net-Zero targets, Circular Economy principles, Nature- based solutions, Regenerative practices, and other initiatives. Global modelling efforts are helping to achieve food and nutrition security, avoid further conversion of natural habitats for food production, and limit the loss of biodiversity.
If you want to learn more about these initiatives and be part of the action, then these courses are for you!.
