This course includes, among
other things, the following topics;
Impact of climate change on
crop yields: studies of water requirements of crops used in animal production,
effect of water stress on crop yields and food quality.
Current state of availability
of food resources for animal production: main food crops used in animal
production, study of variations in production costs over the years.
Speculations most affected by
climate change by production sector: impact of climate change on production
yields and costs, international food price variations.
Impact of increasing food
prices on animal products: use rate of imported food by animal production
sector, the livestock production sectors most vulnerable to the lack of
conventional food, study of how prices of animal products are progressing on an
annual basis.
Alternative solutions
to reduce the impact of climate change on the sustainability and availability
of food resources, integration of renewable energy into production systems,
criteria for choosing crop varieties, local natural bio-resources that can be
