Students explore how food shapes us, reflects our cultures and traditions, is intimately connected to political and economic systems, and has community-level effects. Students also investigate the many policy dimensions associated with food. Students examine how food is also subject to intensive pressure from a range of actors to modify it, monopolize it, and to deskill people so that they become reliant on external actors. Students engage with food as a highly contested domain that is going through major transformations in the 21st Century.
