Students completing this minor will be better prepared to understand the complexity of modern global food systems, interdependence of rural and urban societies, and environmental impact of consumer driven food systems choices; manage natural resources used for food and fiber for the benefit of society; and make more responsible personal and public decisions impacting food systems and the environment.
