GHY 3700 - Geography of Food (3)

When Offered: Spring
Food production and consumption are geographic. What foods we produce, and what foods we consume, are dictated by the specific conditions of place. This course will take a broad view of food production and consumption with an eye towards issues of global sustainability, gender, and justice. While remaining mindful of the global context of food, we will be taking advantage of our location in the southern Appalachians, many of the examples we use in this class will be rooted in the specifics of Watauga County, North Carolina.
