Research

The Certificate in Sustainability Studies equipped me to tackle challenging issues society faces today. I increased my confidence and collaborated with like-minded students who used innovative thinking to understand sustainability topics like food insecurity/security, ecological footprints, biomimicry design, and food waste.
