| Semester | Herbstsemester 2019 |

| Dozierende | John Wargo (john.wargo@unibas.ch, BeurteilerIn) |
| Inhalt | This graduate course will explore key trends and challenges in the global food sector related to environmental quality and human health. We will focus on corporate innovation, mergers and acquisitions, government regulation, and certification programs. Comparisons will be made among Swiss, EU, and US laws, regulations and corporate policies. Students will examine prohibitive policies, cost-benefit balancing standards, risk ceilings, contamination limits, tax policies, labeling/warning requirements, public subsidies, trade barriers, and certification standards. Students will learn to evaluate the effectiveness of law and policy, and to judge the quality and uncertainty of scientific evidence used to claim that a risk is significant. Each topic will explore how environmental and health risks are assessed, the current legal and policy context, and alternative government and corporate strategies that might reduce negative externalities. |
