Sustainable Local Food in Global Context

A core course for the Certificate in Food Studies offered by OSUN in collaboration with the Center for Food Studies at Bard College at Simon's Rock, this course offers an introduction to the theory and practice of sustainable eating in a local food system. The course will consist of classroom discussion of current topics related to sustainable agriculture and food consumption and an experiential component featuring demonstrations and hands-on workshops with farmers and practitioners in students' local communities. We will examine sustainable food and “farm to table” eating from multiple perspectives: consumers, farmers/producers, and policymakers.

Central European University offers this course under the name "Political Ecology: Sustainable Local Food in Global Contexts".

This course counts toward the Food Studies certificate.
