{"title":"NUT304 - The Future of Food","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this unit students will gain an understanding of complex and interconnected factors shaping contemporary food systems, including socio-cultural norms, historical developments, geographic limitations, environmental pressures, and political situations. Students will explore how food systems respond to shocks--such as climate events, economic disruptions, international conflict, or public health crises--and assess their resilience and adaptability. Students will investigate options to improve food systems at a local, national and global level to help improve food security and achieve global sustainable development goals. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/stapps.cdu.edu.au\/apex\/f?p=100:21:::::P21_SEARCH_UNIT,P21_SEARCH_VERSION,P21_SEARCH_YEAR:NUT304,1,2026\" title=\"NUT304 - The Future of Food\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eUnit Catalogue\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRESCRIBED TEXT \u003c\/strong\u003e- FOOD AND NUTRITION: SUSTAINABLE FOOD AND HEALTH SYSTEMS 5TH EDITION\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"9781032696164","title":"FOOD AND NUTRITION: SUSTAINABLE FOOD AND HEALTH SYSTEMS 5TH EDITION","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRINT ON DEMAND 6-8 WEEKS TO ARRIVE FROM DATE OF ORDER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough the prism of public health, climate change, and global sustainability, the fifth edition of this long-standing textbook provides a comprehensive understanding of diet, nutrition, and the place of food and food production within the broader ecosystem.Now framed through an international perspective, the book gives a detailed overview of food components and the biochemistry of foods and digestion, outlining nutrition needs across the life span, as well as dietary disorders.
