Every plate of food around the world tells a story. Is there sufficient nutrition? How far has the food traveled? Who can afford it? Will the food promote health or chronic disease? Which multi-national corporation delivered it? This online course explores why food matters and how our food choices impact the planet. We will travel around the world examining food security, hunger and malnutrition, food waste, agricultural practices, economic challenges and environmental concerns including climate change. Students will gain the ability to evaluate local and global food issues through case studies worldwide. Course materials will draw on published research and popular media. Assignments will be shaped by the student's academic and professional interests.
