How should we, as individuals and a society, reduce wasted food and create a more resilient food system? This First-Year Seminar asks students to apply diverse perspectives to understand and address the complex problem of wasted food. Students will be exposed to a scope of up-to-date research from sociocultural, health, technological, environmental, economic, political, and justice-oriented lenses through guest speakers, multimedia resources, and community engagement on and off campus. By conducting their own examination of this real-world issue and proposing solutions, students in this course will develop critical thinking, research, and presentation skills valuable for future coursework and careers in any field.
