FOOD 250 - Community Food Systems
3 Credit(s)
In this course, students will study local food systems, using the San Luis Valley as a case study for a broader understanding of the role of local food systems in community vitality and health. We will explore: the pathways of food from the farm, to the distributor, to consumer, and finally as waste; inequalities in food access within communities; strategies for creating a resilient and sustainable local food system; and the major players in the local food system. Students will be provided with many examples of organizations using creative solutions to food system problems.
