ENE 218 - Political Ecology of Agriculture and Food

Description
How do human dynamics of power and influence inter-relate with land, natural resources, social structures, and environmental systems? This course introduces students to the field which tackles this question, known as political ecology. It engages themes and debates concerning food production in rural and urban contexts, as well as food consumption. Through studying food systems, we are able to witness and analyze how labor, land uses, biotechnology, food sovereignty, food regulations, and food waste are all indelibly shaped by the interplay of economics, politics, social relationships, and human relationships with the Earth. Same as STS 218 .
