Fifty percent of Americans believe it is at least somewhat important for food to be produced in a sustainable way. What exactly does this mean? How can specific agricultural practices and food production/processing methods impact the sustainability of our food? What are the different components of a sustainable diet? These are just a few of the questions we will address in this course as we explore the controversies and solutions associated with sustainable diets and food production.
