Farm-to-Table Sustainability

Catalog description

This course introduces students to the concept of food systems at the local, regional, and global levels by examining the food supply chain from the cultivation of crops to the end result of consumption. We will be exploring the many different forces that directly and indirectly impact society’s food choices, such as geographic, political, cultural, ethical, ecological, scientific, and economic forces. Emphasis is placed on ethical sustainability discussions in the context of the challenges that face the food needs of today, tomorrow, and beyond.
