Student experience

the class

What does it mean to be food secure - and who gets left out? Interactively explore the scientific, social, and systemic forces that shape food insecurity locally and globally. Build a foundational understanding and then take a deep dive into key drivers of food insecurity - such as climate change, conflict, policy, and inequality - and examine how food access and production affect individuals, communities, and entire nations. Develop college success skills, reflect on personal and academic goals, and engage in evidence-based discussions that connect research, current events, and campus life.
