You will examine new directions in food marketing and production in the context of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) recommendations and strategies including a preference for locally grown and sourced food for individuals and enterprises, emerging research, and new technologies. You will utilise human-centered design strategies to investigate local and global food sources and new food products that promote preferred food futures, consumer trends, and changing markets.
