It's a great course if you want to learn how is the current agriulture system. It definetely doesn't adress how to feed the world. The world doesn't need more meat. We need more education on what to eat. A plant based diet would seem the only way, with once or twice per week meat consumption MAXIMUM. So we need less meat and better life quality for animals. Also, we don't need dairy. Why the f*ck do adult homo sapiens need to drink cow's milk? that's rediculous. The only way to feed the world (and not cause them heart attacks) is to figure out how to increase edible plant production and there are ways to do this that can work. WE NEED A SHIFT IN OUR MENTALITY. LESS MEAT, NO DAIRY AND MORE PLANTS.

Title is somewhat misleading. The course is primarily about the commodity beef industry.

I had a great time studying my wonderful course, which gave me information about feeding the world. I was missing it, and I hope that you will add a course in commercial poultry production for broiler, layer and breeder with focused on nutrition and diets balanced Formulation.

Coursera indeed has changed my life and empowered me the right skills for a better tomorrow .

i am gratefully appreciate you , for all you have done to bless us

Fantastic Course! I was so pleased to participate in a course on Feeding the World and to learn it's reality. Thanks to all who put this course on.

I´m really thankful about this course because as a Veterinarian, it gave me the key points about production systems in a global context and had reforced to me the idea to get involved in a work referent to animal production. All the topics were meaningful to me and I think they are very necessaire to understand the principles of food production. The topic about water caused a change in my thoughts about scarcity because I had a different idea about it and now I know i´t not a real shortage but a bad handling of the resource. As a consumer I really hate to waste food or throw it up if it's still being able to eat it and this course had reforced that concept in me, and I will apply it to my family in order to give them awareness about food.

I loved the course! In the future, I want to graduate in medicine veterinary and this course make me learn a lot about the production systems, the role of the veterinarian in food production, the animals and, obviously, the social problems with food that we have in the U.S. and mainly in the world. So, as a consumer, I will be more confident about the food that I consume. I'm sad that this is the end of this course at the same time that I'm very happy about the knowledge that I gained. Finally, I hope other people like this course as I liked. Thank you so much!

The course was really informative and it enhanced my knowledge regarding the production of different type of farm animals and their role as a source of quality protein for human food. I am thankful to Coursera and Penn state University for providing me non credit course and helped me to learn new things.
