The Politics of Food will examine the ways in which politics shapes the production and distribution of food and other agricultural commodities and the ways in which systems of food production in turn shape politics. The course starts with a historical overview of the relations between agricultural and political development, then looks at contemporary issues in both the United States and the developing world. Such issues include land tenure, agricultural subsidies (and the sort of agriculture they promote), food safety, and corporate influence over food systems through land ownership, agri-chemical production, seed patents and genetic engineering, and food processing and distribution. Finally, the course looks at developing alternatives to the current food system, including organic agriculture, local and niche marketing, and agro-ecology, and the political and economic forces that are helping to shape them.
