Course Description:
In this course we will examine how injustice and environmental harm related to how we produce, distribute, and consume food manifests within the United States and explore solutions for food justice and sustainability. We will examine how food system problems relate to issues such as land ownership and resource access, the exploitation of labor, structural racism and inequality, market dynamics, and law and policy. By the end of the course, we will have an understanding of key processes underpinning food system problems and have engaged in critical thinking about the organizing strategies, ethical positions, and strengths and challenges of different response movements and their actions.
