Since the start of this online course in 2017 more than ten thousand learners have already joined the course. Coursera, the digital platform offering the MOOC, will offer the course ‘Unravelling Solutions for Future Food problems’ four more times in 2022. 

The course lasts five weeks and focuses on two themes: food shortage and healthy choices, each taking up two weeks of the course. The last week is reserved for an interdisciplinary assignment where students can integrate all their acquired knowledge and insights with their own opinion. Researchers from different disciplines at Utrecht University contribute to this course. This offers an excellent opportunity to look at current world food problems from an interdisciplinary point of view. Watch the trailer and visit the course page to enroll!

Session 2: 4 May - 5 June
