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 may find opportunities in roles such as food policy analysts, sustainable agriculture consultants, or community food program coordinators, addressing issues of food access, equity, and enviornmental impact. They might work for government agencies shaping food regulations, nonprofits advocating for food justice,or businesses developing ethical and sustainable supply chains. Whether contributing to urban farming initiatives, international food security programs, or corporate sustanability efforts, students in this concentration will be equipped to create meaningful change across local, regional, and global food systems.
