Case studies from fork to farm that allow to appreciate selected food chains for fruits, wine and vegetables. Specific problems associated with these chains. Practical aspects and scientific methods for studying problems to contribute to problem solving are part of this lecture. Winter: transformation, consumption and market aspects; summer: production aspects.

Selected aspects of four horticultural value chains are addressed in 3 lectures each. Knowledge delivery blocks alternative with simple group work during these lectures. Students then divide into 4 groups to address a case study. The results are documented on a poster and presented and discussed with all students at a final colloquium.
