This course examines sustainability across the entire agri-food chain, from inputs and production through processing, distribution, and consumption, equipping participants to identify and reduce environmental impact at each stage.
Upcoming sessions in Johannesburg
Sustainability in food systems is often addressed one stage at a time — sustainable production here, reduced packaging waste there — without a view of how the entire agri-food chain interacts from input supply to consumer plate. This five-day course teaches a whole-chain approach to agri-food sustainability, examining environmental impact at each stage: input production, farming practices, processing, distribution, retail, and consumption, including food loss and waste along the way. Participants review regional and global case studies of agri-food chains that have reduced their environmental footprint while remaining commercially viable.
Applied sessions include mapping the environmental footprint of a specific agri-food chain, identifying the highest-impact stages, and prioritizing interventions with the greatest sustainability return. Participants leave with a structured framework for assessing and improving sustainability across any agri-food chain they work with.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from public sector institutions, private enterprises, development organizations, and regulated professional environments, examining how agri-food chain sustainability is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for mapping the agri-food chain, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
