A Modern Approach to Teaching Agri-Food Sciences in the Context of Sustainability and Climate Change Issues

Abstract

In this article we propose an approach to developing interdisciplinary teaching modules (ITeM) for sustainable management in agri-food systems, based on our experiences as academic teachers and researchers involved in agri-food disciplines. Each teaching module consists of a series of lectures either for 1st level (bachelor) or 2nd level (master) students. A model of the course is presented and recommended for teaching programmes in the area of Food Science and Technology, Agricultural Science, Food Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Food and environmental Biotechnology.(original abstract)
