Modelos comerciales circulares para sistemas alimentarios urbanos sostenibles (FutureLearn)

Descubra cómo los modelos comerciales circulares transforman los sistemas alimentarios urbanos.
Explore cómo la economía circular puede fomentar sistemas alimentarios urbanos. En un contexto donde la población mundial alcanzará los 9 mil millones de personas en 2050, con casi el 70% de ellas concentradas en zonas urbanas y que requerirán tres veces más recursos de los que usamos actualmente, la “economía lineal” tradicional ya no funciona.

A Circular Economy of Metals: Towards a Sustainable Societal Metabolism (Coursera)

Sci: Environment

Metals are present everywhere around us and are one of the major materials upon which our economies are built. Economic development is deeply coupled with the use of metals. During the 20th century the variety of metal applications in society grew rapidly. In addition to mass applications such as steel in buildings and aluminium in planes, more and more different metals are in use for innovative technologies such as the use of the specialty metal indium in LCD screens. A lot of metals will be needed in the future. It will not be easy to provide them. In particular in emerging economies, but also in industrialized countries, the demand for metals is increasing rapidly. Mining and production activities expand, and with that also the environmental consequences of metal production. In this course, we will explore those consequences and we will also explore options to move towards a more sustainable system of metals production and use.

How do we produce more, better quality, and safer food while simultaneously achieving social and environmental goals? The Mediterranean region is one of the most biodiverse in the world, home to a complex and intricate patchwork of cultures, climates, and cuisines. Food systems in the region -- represented worldwide by the "Mediterranean diet" -- are equally complex, demanding analysis across the political, social, cultural, economic and nutritional spectrums from landscape to table.
