Prereq: FSHN 1670; Credit or concurrent enrollment in FSHN 5680X
Our food systems are at a crossroad and sustainability is a pressing need. In this course, students will apply a systems-based approach to critically evaluate food production and processing challenges in the US food system using domestic and global case studies. We will consider how food production can be done in environmentally friendly way and reflect on whether consumers can play a role through their food choices. Finally, students will enhance their knowledge regarding food literacy and the ability to apply skills to engage in enterprises that can transform current food systems.
