UBC Master of Food and Resource Economics - MFRE

Dr. Margulis brings his expertise to the program, teaching the Global Food and Resource Governance course. His course examines real-world controversies in global food and resource governance, and offers students a chance to develop transferable skills to work on these issues in their future careers.

“Something I always tell my students is that no matter where you end up working – whether it’s the private food sector, financial analysis, market analysis, or research – if you lack an understanding and appreciation of the global dynamics and rules that govern food production and trade, you really can’t do your job – you lack the context and you’re flying blind.”
