Advancing food systems planning and policy is an essential tool for achieving sustainable development at local and global levels. This course is open to UBC students interested in exploring how ecology, agriculture, community engagement, and sustainability interact with practical food system plans and policies.\u00a0 While the field of food systems planning is quickly emerging as an important urban and regional specialization, the field is still in its infancy. This\u00a0 class will provide basic understanding of the various policies and programs related to food system organization across multiple levels of government. Classes will take place at UBC Botanical Garden where students will explore how understanding local food systems from the ground up can provide foundational knowledge for global change. Class time will be spent both in and out doors where natural systems will guide and shape our learning. <\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
