What we eat has a profound influence on the environment around us. Similarly, the environment we live in influences our food systems. This unit will explore this bi-directional relationship with an emphasis, and critical examination on sustainable eating. Students will be exposed to food systems and their relationship with greenhouse gas emissions, loss of biodiversity, sustainable farming practices, human and animal health, an increasing global population, food insecurity and other current issues. Ultimately, this unit will equip students with theoretical knowledge and practical skills to promote and support our global food system, an important entity for our planetary health.
