So, what would you say are some current trends in this field? GUEST: There's a growing interest in integrating agroecological principles into conventional supply chains. Also, there's a strong emphasis on transparency and traceability to ensure ethical and sustainable practices. HOST: Interesting, now transitioning to the course, what are some challenges students might face when learning about agroecological supply chains?
