The Food Systems Concentration trains students to critically evaluate key socio-spatial, economic, political, and environmental issues within the global, regional, and local food systems. By examining how such issues influence land stewardship, food production, processing, distribution, and consumption, and how food-related challenges found across the globe intersect with inequalities such as race, class, and gender, students will be equipped with the knowledge and the skills to develop and implement strategies to improve the sustainability of the local, regional, and global food system. Students in this concentration might pursue careers in the private sector, local and state government, or a non-profit organization, in the United States or internationally.
