Food

Food is all around us and inextricably connected to the health and well-being of our communities and the environment. Through engaging with food systems at a local level, students can begin to gain a deeper understanding of the intricacies and complexities of environmental, economic, and social justice. And by engaging in hands-on activities like growing food, distributing it to those in need, and working with community partners, students are empowered to take tangible action towards creating a more equitable and sustainable future.
