WWS 591G - Policy Workshop - Urban Food Systems

Institution:

Princeton University

Subject:

Description:

This workshop will use case studies, academic literature, and site visits to study urban food systems. Health, environmental, and socio-economic indicators, as well as opportunities for collaboration and community building, will be used to evaluate current and future food systems. We will also focus on the role of private and public sector actors in creating urban food systems and inherent system vulnerabilities. During fall break, students will travel to three regions to learn about urban food systems. The workshop will formulate policy recommendations for our client, the Childhood Obesity Team at Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF).
