Exploring Food Systems—Middlebury, Vermont; Louisville, Kentucky; Washington, D.C.

In this course we explore ways that activities across the food system from production (and fish capture) through waste disposal affect ecological integrity, individual health, community well-being, and society’s potential to meet human needs for food and adequate nutrition now and in the future. The course is closely integrated with weekly field-trips to observe these food system activities, including innovative projects to improve environmental, social, economic and health impacts. Students will form cross-site working groups that match the topic of the internships they choose through the Middlebury FoodWorks Fellowship Program; these Topical Teams will contrast and compare experiences across sites.
