This course explores the theory and practice of sustainable eating in a local food system and around the world. Students will learn about sustainable agriculture and food in their local area and will meet virtually with students at partner campuses across the OSUN network. Collaborative sessions will give students access to a global perspective on food practices, local food, and farming. The course features virtual field trips to farms and guest speakers. We will examine sustainable food from multiple perspectives: consumers, policy-makers, and farmers/producers. The course will include oral presentations, short papers, and a collaborative final project. No prerequisites.
