Section Description
Everybody eats food. However, this most basic human need is often taken for granted. Have you ever considered how your food is produced, where it comes from, and who makes it? Who determines the quality and safety standards of your food, and how? What are the social and environmental impacts of today’s food production and consumption?

With a focus on the modern food system, students will explore the relationship between food, people, and the environment from a sociological perspective.
