A self-paced course designed to develop the knowledge and skills of food systems partitioners, at all scales.
This succinct, fully asynchronous course explores diverse approaches to holistic health and wellbeing, including basic nutrition, cultural context, and consideration of what we consume beyond their caloric values.
This course will focus on the histories of appropriation of land, air and water and its connections to our contemporary agriculture and food systems. We will examine the underlying economic and philosophical narratives that informed movements and systems of often violent appropriation and commodification of natural resources. The purpose of this course will be to understand food regimes that have marked different epochs of time and their relationships to institutions and modes of enforcement. We will take a deeper dive to examine the stories of resistance, counternarratives and modes of organization that have always accompanied the dominant narratives and gain insight into possibilities for different ways of imagining our natural relationships.
