2 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.

3 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.
