FS 200 — Food, Policy and Advocacy
This course explores food policy making, food activism, and policy advocacy initiatives at local, regional, national, and international scales. We begin by discussing the concepts of food policy and food advocacy, and proceed to examine how food policy making intersects with and impacts public health, environment, and the regional food system. Jobs in food policy and advocacy sectors are discussed throughout the semester, and guest speakers are invited to contextualize course concepts in the New York City environment.
