About This Course
Despite significant progress, true integration of sustainability into the business models, strategies, tactics, and daily operations of most food industry players remains elusive. Thus, instead of merely addressing the obvious connections between operations, tactics, strategies, and business models in food design and sustainable development, this course delves into the reasons behind this gap and, more importantly, explores ways to bridge it.
