NIFK20004U Cancelled Project in Sustainable Diets, Food Systems or Food Consumption

Assuming that the participants already have a comprehensive understanding of sustainability in diets and in food systems, it is the objective of this course to provide opportunities to integrate and apply this knowledge to a specific food related topic. The main focus of the course is first having the ability to focus on a specific topic especially connected to sustainable diets or broader in relation to sustainability in food systems or food consumption and second on writing a project report. This will also provide participants with a more deeply insight in the subject and further improve their writing skills and presentation techniques.

Participants are supposed to choose a topic for their project during the first week. As introduction to the project work, in the first week the course teachers will give lectures on the topic of writing a project in sustainable food systems. A list of suggested topics for the project will be made available, though participants are encouraged to come up with own ideas for a topic to work with. Topics should primarily be within the specific fields of integrated food studies aspects related to sustainability in diets or the like. After the first week, students are supposed to work on their own or in groups on their projects. Supervision is offered during the writing process. In addition, all students must present their problem description for the rest of the class in the 3^rd course week. With this the student obtains feedback in the early part of the writing process. The written project report is to be handed in by the end of the 7^th course week. The course is finished with an oral presentation and examination in the written project.
