PBHL 3150 Food and Community


This course is an exploration of the complex and challenging public health issues related to the globalization of our food supply. This course investigates the connections among the current food and food-animal production and distribution systems, food policy, and public health, with an emphasis on the growing movement toward sustainable, community-based systems of agriculture and the citizen’s role in this movement at local, state, national, and global levels. In this course students will integrate theory, practice, and problem-solving strategies in community settings, including community gardens, farmer’s markets, local family farms, food banks, civic organizations, and the larger systems in which these exist.
