SOAN 310 Food, Power and Society

Learn an introduction to both the national and global issues associated with our food system. Focus on the industrial food production and consumption, social food movements, food politics, and the cultural ways in which societies engage with food. Draw on literature and perspectives from sociology, anthropology, and sustainability to unpack how inequality, environment, and social degradation are results of our global food system. Explore ways in which actors are working against these powers to reclaim food security, justice and sovereignty.
