Food Systems & Community Emphasis
The Food Systems & Community emphasis area explores complex relationships associated with food, including demands on the global ecosystem, health, and well-being of diverse communities, and the ways that bioregionalism can build more resilient populations.
ENVST5558 - Capstone: Food for Justice, Health, and Sustainability
This course is designed as a capstone experience for students in the ENVST Food Systems and Community Resilience Emphasis Area. Food movements are playing an increasingly vital role in the development, promotion, and success of justice, sustainability, and health movements throughout our society. In this course, students will explore political and economic factors that affect a just and sustainable food system, consider how our food choices promote or discourage justice and sustainability, and navigate the ways that our food cultivation, preparation, and consumption is related to healthy lifestyles. The course includes cooking, canning, and field trips to local farms and restaurants. Students not in the ENVST major are welcome in this class.
