LEAP 1225 - Sustainable and Equitable Food Systems

Take a close look at food and water systems, and grassroots efforts to ensure sustainable, broad access to fresh, nutritious, affordable, culturally-appropriate food, and adequate clean water. Through dynamic community engaged learning, you will connect with groups across the U campus and in the Salt Lake Valley whose missions align with food justice. We will discuss how disparate access to food and water drives the plot of literature, films, music, and art. Chances are, you love a movie whose central conflict includes the search for food or water - think The Hunger Games, Avengers: Endgame, etc. What would YOU do for food if you had to...? This course also includes the opportunity for a visit to the U's own Bonderman Field Station at Rio Mesa (riomesa.utah.edu).
