CODE 3603 Community Development and Sustainable Food Systems
In this experiential course, participants will gain confidence applying a sustainability lens to food system issues, gain experience with community-based food systems, and explore and develop personal experiences as food citizens.
Students will broaden their capacity as gardeners and food citizens—regardless of prior experience!—through:
- readings and critical discussions
- independent project work with community organizations
- hands-on gardening activities
