Fixing Food Systems
This course addresses the innovation in food systems and how it is changing the ways that we eat; how we produce, process, and distribute food; how we manage food system inputs and waste; and how we imagine food alternatives. We will unpack what is meant by "innovation" and why technological innovation frequently gets more attention than social, cultural, and political innovations at scales from the community to the international. We will explore how to assess the risks and value of innovations and their implications for social justice and participation of emerging streams of innovation. (INTD 0280 or INTD 0310). 3 hrs. sem.
