Ever wonder about where our food comes from and what impact food production has on our environment? Then consider enrolling in this interdisciplinary seminar which combines Environmental Biology and Film Studies to explore food systems to understand human societies, cultures, and our relationships with the environment. You'll examine food production and consumption choices, consider questions of food access, hunger, and poverty, and explore the impacts of globalization on food. As a class project, you'll envision and map out a sustainable food system that offers solutions for feeding ourselves in a way that respects ecology, values diversity, builds resilient communities, and is based on social justice.
