ENV 320 - Introduction to Food Systems


Min Units: 3
Max Units: 3
This course will explore multiple pathways of food production and distribution in the United States including growing, harvesting, processing, storage, packaging, transporting, marketing, consumption, and disposal of food to feed a growing global population. These concepts will be theoretically framed by the concept of metabolic rift, which more broadly encompasses fractures in the ecological sustainability of food production and consumption, social disruptions and inequalities resulting from the commodification of land and labor, and the alienation of humans from labor and nature. Field trips and activities will highlight ecological, social, and individual politics of the local food system. Fall
Prerequisite(s): ST 200  or BI 230  or permission of the instructor
