FOOD SYSTEMS This program is designed to provide students with the skills and knowledge they will need to manage the challenges and to foster the creation of a sustainable food system locally and globally. The food system, in the sense we use it here, includes all those activities involving the production, processing, transport and consumption of food.

FOOD SYSTEMS A sustainable community food system is a collaborative network that integrates sustainable food production, processing, distribution, consumption and waste management in order to enhance the environmental, economic and social health of a particular place. Farmers, consumers and communities partner to create a more locally based, self-reliant food economy. One of the most important aspects of sustainable community food system projects is that they increase resident participation to achieve the following goals: A stable base of family farms that use sustainable production practices and emphasizes local inputs; Marketing and processing practices that create more direct links between farmers and consumers; Improved access by all community members to an adequate, affordable, nutritious diet; Food and agriculture-related businesses that create jobs and recirculate financial capital within the community; Improved living and working conditions for farm and food system labor; Creation of food and agriculture policies that promote local or sustainable food production, processing and consumption, and Adoption of dietary behaviors that reflect concern about individual, environmental and community health.
