Learning objectiveSpecific knowledge about relation and various processes in cities and countrysides, with regard to production, handling, logistics, consumption habits and disposal of foodstuffs.
ContentThe production, processing, distribution, consumption, and disposal of food have perpetually affected the relationship between city and countryside. In that sense, the industrialization and globalization of food systems contributed to the urbanization of the landscape. On the other hand, logistic systems and consumer behavior are strongly affected by processes of urbanization, which shows that the city and its food system have a mutual influence on each other.
