21st Century Agriculture
According to UN estimates, enough food is produced globally to provide every person on the planet with 2,700 calories daily. Put bluntly, global hunger isn’t a scarcity issue, it’s a management issue. Fortunately, b-schools have taken note.
While scoring the Beyond Grey Pinstripes data, I kept a running word document with notes from the classes that included interesting ideas for my future teaching. I found that I could take key issues from all disciplines (e.g. economics, marketing, microfinance, etc.) and assemble the pieces to create an all-encompassing social value course or sustainability course.
