LAS 208 - The Consumer, The Producer, and the Environment

3 Credit Hours
If we are what we eat, what exactly are we eating today?  How is food produced in the United States? Food politics and policies in the United States have heated up in recent years, as legislators, regulators, educators, farmers and many others battle over subsidies, restrictions and questions of public health. What shapes our choices as consumers? How do these choices impact our lives and our communities? How do our choices impact the environment?  Is this sustainable? We will explore these critical issues as we learn about food production in the US.  
 

Prerequisite(s): sophomore standing and completion of a first-year seminar.
