ANTH 214 - The Anthropology of Food

Institution:

Catholic University of America

Subject:

Anthropology

Description:

With almost 6 billion people to feed and unprecedented levels of human impact on the environment, many cultural, social, and environmental questions surround the supply of food. Are there ethical and non-ethical ways to produce food? How does food production relate to a healthy environment? What happens to food as it moves from the farmer to the dinner plate? How does food become an expression of our social selves? This course uses an anthropological perspective to assess these and related questions in the production, processing and consumption of food.
