description: Developed in partnership with The Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. How can food companies drive sustainability while balancing business goals? This course explores the Middle of the Food System—the manufacturers, packagers, distributors, and retailers that shape what we eat and how it gets to us. You'll examine the history of food business, the role of innovation, and the challenges of corporate social responsibility (CSR) to understand how companies can shrink their environmental footprint and promote a healthier food system. Through engaging lessons, you'll analyze key issues like climate change, plastic pollution, and food waste while uncovering the tensions and shared interests between corporate profit and CSR. The course concludes by reviewing a systems thinking approach that helps business leaders and policymakers understand the food system’s volatile and unpredictable behavior and develop effective solutions for a more sustainable future.
