WORLD FOOD SYSTEM 1450-2050
The World Food System, from 1450 to 2050
In 2050 when there are 9.7 billion people on Earth, how will malnutrition be conquered? What will we eat? Who’ll grow it, and where? How will we distribute it? The world food system’s history give some indication as to the fault lines of current and future debate. Using film, readings, and food, we will explore possibilities for change in the food system. Students will present a research paper for transformative change in the food system at a local, national or international level.
