Food is one of our most intimate connections to the environment and culture. This masterclass will introduce students to key concepts integral to understanding our relationships with food. These include a food system, food security, and sustainability. Dr. Lowitt then asks, why should we study food systems, and what role can communities play in making food systems more sustainable? To address these questions, she shares examples and lessons learned from her research program with civil society, Indigenous, and food movement partners in Canada.
