BIOL 3862 Elimu na Kilimo - Global Food Security and Education

Opportunities in Kenyan culture will increase students’ knowledge base on how food security, education, health systems, and policies impact the welfare, decision-making processes, and resiliency of a people. The course provides a lens into the inequities, disparities and sometimes discrimination that comes with the production, processing, distribution and access to food globally.  Issues such as biofuels, food aid, plant disease, poverty, subsidies,, and level of education as drivers of food insecurity will be observed, addressed, and discussed to give perspective to the complex interdependencies and ethics related to global food security. Student’s experiential journey will include meetings and active participation with stakeholders. In the spirit of embedding this course in a diverse cultural experience, students’ immersion in a local community will aid in making authentic connections.
