The food price spikes of the past half-decade have drawn increased attention to agriculture’s impact on global social and economic security. This curriculum unit will introduce students to concepts from agricultural economics and international development, preparing them to critically assess strategies to promote global food security and pro-poor growth. Students will explore questions such as: How does food production impact a country’s economic development? What are the best policies to support agriculture in the developing world? How is food security impacted by global trends such as climate change, and how can governments and farmers adapt? The unit will be based on the Global Food Policy and Food Security Symposium Series (http://foodsecurity.stanford.edu/events/series/global_food_policy_series/) presented by the Stanford University Program on Food Security and the Environment.
