This course provides an introduction to the MPS in Food Systems and Sustainability. Students will meet other members of their cohort, learn to navigate program content, and begin their exploration and analysis of food systems and sustainability. Particular emphasis will be placed on the tension between making change through activism and advocacy and making change from within the mainstream food system. Course material will be delivered through a combination of in person lectures and discussions, and through tours that explore different elements of the greater San Francisco Bay area food system.
