# STSO-4260: Food, Farms, and Famine

# Food, Farms, and Famine

## STSO-4260

This course provides students with a wide-ranging understanding of the environmental and social context of food, agriculture, and hunger. Drawing primarily on sociological concepts and research, the class will take a "food systems" approach, analyzing food as it travels from farm to table as part of an interconnected process. Students will examine why humans eat the way they do and how individuals' food choices affect other people and the environment.
