FSP 320 - Poverty and Hunger

One paradox of the contemporary food system is that it generates both hunger and obesity at the same time; in this course, we examine the extent of hunger, malnutrition and starvation in the world. This course examines societal structures of inequality as key determinants of access to food and the links between agricultural technologies, trade, hunger, and the reconfiguration of the global agri-food system. Finally, we evaluate solutions to problems of hunger, starvation and malnutrition.
