CORE 333 - Food

Institution:

Colgate University

Subject:

Description:

C. Henke Food is fundamental - it sustains us and is essential for our survival - but food is more than just what we eat. Food is also a commodity with complex global markets; it is highly regulated through our political processes and institutions; and it forms a key part of our culture and the social rhythms of everyday life. This course explores these many dimensions of food, focusing especially on key questions about where it comes from, how it is produced, and how it is embedded in our economic, political, and cultural institutions. Students enrolled in the course participate in a service learning internship at Common Thread Community Farm in Madison, NY. This course also involves several field trips to and guest speakers from local food and farming communities.
