Credit: 3 hours Section Info: AFRO 224/ CWL 226: Humanist Perspectives of the Afro-Am Experience Race and Food Security Achieving food security across the world calls for an understanding of the racial inequalities that impact the ways in which food is produced, consumed, processed, and distributed. Yet current food security strategies largely ignore issues of race while focusing on the productivity of agricultural methods and environmental sustainability. In this course, students will critically analyze and explore the food security continuum—from the soil to the fork—through humanist frameworks derived from an Afro-centric world view of agri-food systems. Such a view of food security enlarges our understandings of food access issues and how Black communities are working to build socially just and sustainable food systems for all. This course is designed for students interested in food and environmental systems, African American studies, and community development.
