ENVSOCTY 2TF3 - Food, Power and Place

3 unit(s)

Who really controls the food system? Are food banks helping or hurting the fight against hunger? Why are grocery stores organized the way they are? How do families negotiate gender roles in the kitchen? This course takes a critical approach to these and other questions about our food system. We consider how our relationship to food is mediated by the state, private business, and charity. We explore global strategies to create more just, equitable and sustainable food systems.
