Food for a Hot Planet. 3 credits, 3 contact hours

Catalog description

Restrictions: Sophomore standing. Human food systems have profound effects on our planet’s ecosystems. The climate changes that result from those ecosystem effects will shape the food systems of the future. This course will focus on the intersections between climate change and food and involve extensive reading and discussions on these topics. Informed by those discussions, students will work throughout the course to predict how climate change will influence the way we eat, contribute to an urban agriculture service-learning project, and develop a plan to communicate their vision for the future of food to the campus community.
