      abstract = {This paper introduces an innovative, interdisciplinary  food systems programme based on an open‐source
pedagogical  model that facilitates learning through the use of  technology developed at the Universitat Oberta
de Catalunya  (UOC). We begin by explaining the structure and goals of  the UOC and briefly introduce the UOC’s
e‐learning model.  We then consider the development of the Department of Food  Systems, Culture and Society
and explain our rational for  focussing on food governance. We focus primarily on a set  of mandatory
introductory courses for the Master’s Diploma  in Food, Society and International Food Governance.  These
courses, which make up a certificate in Food Systems  Analysis, lay out the fundamentals of our approach to  the
study of food systems. Finally, we consider an  analytical framework used to examine the socio‐political  context
of contemporary food systems. Here, food systems  are approached as an arrangement of activities  clustered
around trade liberalization, neoliberalized  social formations, and a condensed state, which produce  complex
forms of food governance.},
