FOOD 350 - Food Lab II

4 Credit(s)

Food lab is a hands-on upper lever course for Food Studies majors to learn about food from Farm to Table. Food Lab I & II should be taken in consecutive Spring and Fall semesters, as the Food Lab I students will ideally plant a garden to be harvested by the students in Food Lab II, the following fall. Even if not possible the courses will still be building upon each other. In Food Lab II, students in the class will work together to take care of the garden and harvest crops using sustainable practices. If this is not possible, students will still learn various skills for preparing the land for the harvesting season, taking care of plants, and learning various gardening skills through experiences working at other farms. Grades will be determined by attendance and participation, as well as a midterm reflection and a final project, paper, or exam. Students will also begin learning cooking techniques and styles, getting to practice and try food and skills from different parts of the world.
