À propos du cours

In this course you will become familiar with the ideas of the water-energy-food nexus and transdisciplinary thinking. You will learn to see your community or country as a complex social-ecological system and to describe its water, energy and food metabolism in the form of a pattern, as well as to map the categories of social actors. We will provide you with the tools to measure the nexus elements and to analyze them in a coherent way across scales and dimensions of analysis. In this way, your quantitative analysis will become useful for informed decision-making. You will be able to detect and quantify dependence on non-renewable resources and externalization of environmental problems to other societies and ecosystems (a popular ‘solution’ in the western world). Practical case studies, from both developed and developing countries, will help you evaluate the state-of-play of a given community or country and to evaluate possible solutions. Last but not least, you will learn to see pressing social-ecological issues, such as energy poverty, water scarcity and inequity, from a radically different perspective, and to question everything you’ve been told so far. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Part of the results and case studies presented have been developed within two projects: MAGIC and PARTICIPIA. However, the course does not reflect the views of the funding institutions or of the project partners as a whole, and the case studies were presented purely with an educational and illustrative purpose....

The content is very vast and teaching was like a class room. Some difficulties felt due to pronunciation of English which is not of their mother tongue I agree.

I was surprised after starting the course that it is full of all scientific inputs and as I am from science background I took enough time to understand all the lectures and enriched my knowledge.

The slides are very nice.

The backdrop of the teacher should be made better and rethinking is is required how visually it will be better. Sometimes 20 min lecture was very monotonous try to make is smaller part and increase the number of lectures say for 3 class it can be made 5 etc. Overall it is full of materials. Thank you to all teachers .
