Spring 2019 Course: Take Action

The food system is a complex web of interconnected relationships and disciplines. It is also estimated to be at least a $12 trillion dollar business globally. The way food tastes, is produced, distributed and eaten has everything to do with our personal, public and planetary health and sustainability.

The 2019 offering of Edible Education 101 will focus on how we can each become knowledgeable and empowered to ​ Take Action​ in transforming the food system to become healthy, sustainable and just.

We will highlight evidence-based innovations and entrepreneurial tools and solutions throughout the semester and invite students to develop creative and effective plans at an individual, local, regional, national and global scale.
