Description

This course intends to build awareness among the public regarding nutrition, food ethics, policy, insecurity, and sustainability.

Discussion and lab topics include sustainable farming and consumer health needs, the power of food marketing, merchandising, and the “selling” of healthy menus in restaurants.
