Food, Hunger, Poverty, & Environment
Facilitators: Gregory A. Baker, Management; Executive Director, Food and Agribusiness Institute Department; Erika French-Arnold, Director, Food and Agribusiness Institute Department
The Food, Hunger, Poverty, Environment (FHPE) pathway focuses on the complex interrelationships among food production, food consumption, hunger, poverty, and the environment. Students in the pathway will explore how the production, consumption, and distribution of food resources are impacted by a variety of factors, including the availability of resources, income levels, and environmental degradation. The production of food in fragile environments and the sustainability of subsistence food systems will be explored, including the role of agricultural development in reducing hunger and poverty throughout the world.
