The course gives a very good overview on various aspects of the agri-food value chain. Yet, it is missing updated perspectives according to recent geopoltical challenges, human induced disasters or natural disaster impacts deriving from climate change. Profit maximisation and growth alone can't be the main drivers with a rising focus on food security. Economic solutions to balances use of resources (water, land, etc.) among countries, making supply chains more resilient, fostering innovations for limited natural resources use in agri-food production, supporting small holders, etc. should be more prominent in the course. However, I did enjoy the course very much. It gave me new insights and ideas. Thank you.

The course spans a wide range of introductory concepts regarding the agro-food supply chains and definitely paves the way for further investigations the student must carry out in other sources. Some of the lessons might appear too basic for this or that audience, for example, sometimes an economist or an engineer might feel reviewing some topics, but, in the end, the outcome is positive. From the few negative points, the most remarkable one was the really bad English accent by some of the speakers (subtitles preferable).

Overall, this was a good investment of time. There were many interesting topics, many were offered with a good level of detail. A few topics were too broad, and the lecturers were just reading the slides. In general, I feel I learned many things that will help me navigate through technical conversations about agro-food products, value chains, and markets; and make proposals as well. I recommend this course.

It was really informative. I learned a lot from this especially already coming from a background of agricultural economics. The resources that were given in the course were very helpful for one's understanding. However, I disliked the manner of discussion. I wish that the discussion had been more lively so I could have been more attentive to the videos rather than just studying the course materials myself.

Thank you very much for this course. It was a suprise to me that so many concepts were involved in the agro food value chain. In particular, it was very interesting to know about contracts due to the information assimetry. The course is very well structured. I gave 4 stars and not 5 because some lectures could be improved. Anyway, thank you and congratualtions for providing this course free of charge!

The course provides a holistic picture for agri-food economics. As it is a holistic picture, no detailed information about specific topic and its implication in the agri-food business across continents. Overall, it is a great course for agri-food beginner. I would hope to get more practical information on food standards and its implication in Asia, as well as involved stakeholders!

Really interesting topics related to Food Value Chains: lot of information to undestand in simple words the complexity of commercial and legal relationships among most of the participants from farmers to consumers and vice versa.

Just some issues due to the english isn't the first language of the speakers nor mine.

This is a great course of great quality. I loved the explanations and material of professors Carlo Russo, Louisa Menapace, Chenguang Li and Faikal Akaichi. However, important improvements required to the explanations and materials of Francesco Bimbo on Innovation and Corporate Social Responsibility.

The course covers the basics of agro food value chain. It is a good introductory course for anybody venturing into agro food business. The basic essential are covered here.

Some suggestions -Pedagogy can include more interactive sessions instead of just only lectures. Thank you to the team.

Some contents were well structured, others were difficult to follow. Especially the questions were confusing in relation to the contents of their respective lectures. All in all a very informative course, giving lots of insights in concepts and ideas applicable to theory and real life alike.

Good content and overview, some of the lecturers had trouble with English though and some of the quiz answers were not consistent with the content preceding it. Some of the quiz questions were also confusing - but maybe this was intentional :)

The course in general was excellent. I just had difficulties understanding some of the things that professor Menapace was explaining as I felt like she jumps to the conclusions too fast. However, the overall experience was amazing

Decent course to get an understanding of agri-value chains from a perspective of economics. The course was very relevant for me in my current profile of agribusiness

I think it is a great course for the starters in this area, enough easy to understand, with the most important concepts well transmitted, I enjoyed it!

Great course with depth. Learn loads of essential information for food supply chain. However, some transcript does not match the video.

Some of the modules are probably too theoretic but most of them very interesting and with market applications. Thanks for the course

Very informative course. It helped me to understand key mechanisms and interactions that happen in the whole value chain.

The course was well presented; its scope can be expanded outside the EU to accommodate other markets

It was very informative. I just personally felt it got very theoretical towards the end.

Excellent comprehensive review of concepts, practices, and developments of value chains

ton of information.. but a lot of it is theoretical and some of it seems outdated

This course help me in understanding how markets of agri-food supply chain works

it has opened me to a different point of view on agro food value chains

good intro. some very good topics and presenters (but not everyone...)

I loved it, great but it started getting boring in the 4th week
