ST4FSS 3: What is a system?

Our food system is a prime example of complex, adaptive systems. During this short video series we will cover some of the basics about systems thinking. You can learn about the systems approach and get to know some of the concepts, mental models and tools that are essential to tackle various issues in your life with the support of systems thinking.
This video series is part of the Systems Thinking for Food Systems Sustainability course developed by ESSRG in the framework of the Fit4Food2030 project. You can access and find more information about the online version of this course here: courses.essrg.hu/
During this course we use the systems approach to better understand some of the main issues and driving forces in our food system . We see how climate change, biodiversity loss, inequality, hunger and malnutrition might be connected connected and how we, as individuals and communities, can work together for a more sustainable and healthy food system.

I do not agree that a system needs a defined purpose. More accurately a system has affordances or tendencies.
