[Overview and purpose of the course]

In the context of sustainability transitions, discourses on the benefits and potentials of local food have been proliferating. The course introduces the concepts and research perspectives of sustainable food systems and varied concepts, research agendas, and analytical tools for understanding the emergence and dynamics of sustainable local food. Sustainable food systems will also be explored via evidence from Eastern Europe to challenge some normative assumptions and explanatory models underlying food system scholarship.
