This course is designed for students in anthropology, food and nutrition, agriculture and environmental studies. It explores food in terms of human food systems. Human food systems include the knowledge, values, and practices used to produce, distribute, process, exchange and consume food. These are embedded in culture and operate within societies. Thus, why we eat, what we eat, when, where and with whom we eat, how and where we obtain our food, how we prepare it, and distribute it in specific ways may vary as a function of the culture in which we live, our place of residence and our location within society. We will explore these issues through the lectures, readings, videos and discussions to gain a better understanding of the complexity of food-related behaviors among people around the world.
