Begin Registration
There is widespread agreement that global and local food systems must be improved in order to promote long-term sustainability, but there is widespread disagreement about exactly what those changes should be. This course provides an overview of key approaches and debates in the study and practice of food system change. Students explore the strengths, limits, and tensions of movements for food system reform, food justice, and food sovereignty, as well as examine trade-offs across the domains of environmental, social, and economic sustainability. Further attention is granted to modes of organizing and advocacy, including the role of policy, media, philanthropy, and grassroots activism.
