The University of San Diego is now offering a new Food Studies minor designed to introduce students to the multifaceted issues surrounding food in today's world. This interdisciplinary program delves into various aspects of food, including ethical dilemmas in factory farming, global malnutrition challenges, and the intricate connections between food systems and climate change. With courses spanning across natural sciences, social sciences and humanities, the minor offers students a comprehensive understanding of food's significance in society. Students pursuing the Food Studies minor at USD can expect to gain valuable insights into diverse fields. “Everybody eats, but not everybody reflects on their food: Where did it come from? Who cultivated or created it? How? Was it ethical? Sustainable? How do global supply chains and economies depend on the production and distribution of this food? Answering these questions implicates us in the numerous academic fields, from chemistry and business to sociology and philosophy,” says Dr. Nick Riggle, director of the Food Studies program at USD. https://lnkd.in/g2H5ZaTS

Food insecurity goes beyond just impacting a student's health; it significantly affects their academic performance too. Research reveals that hungry students find it challenging to concentrate, retain information, and do well on tests. Providing access to nutritious meals is indispensable for enhancing students' educational success.
