Nutrition Equity

Catalog description

This asynchronous online course introduces students to nutrition equity from both a local (community) and global perspective. Students in the course will learn about the complexity and inequity of food systems as a social determinant of health, which can lead to food insecurity and nutrition- and health-related disparities. Students will critically evaluate structural and intermediate determinants of nutrition equity, explore how neighborhood conditions can affect access to healthy foods and, through critical analysis of the literature, review frameworks and theories relevant to nutrition equity.
