Food Policy & Politics

Catalog description

Introduces the food system as a complex and dynamic network of relationships, power dynamics, and policies that influence what we eat and how it’s produced, distributed, and consumed. Using a systems-based approach, examines the intersections of food policy and politics, analyzing how agricultural subsidies, international trade agreements, food labeling laws, and public health campaigns shape global food systems. Engages with issues through experiential methods such as policy analysis, games, case studies, and direct engagement with food policy.
