The course places livestock production at the heart of thinking about how we ensure that the human population has a healthy and sustainable food supply in the future in the face of climate change, population growth and water shortages. It will integrate agricultural science with related subjects that impact on sustainability and food security such as geo-politics, legislation and regulation, consumer pressures, economics, agro-ecology and environmental stewardship.
