U.S. Food Policy

Description from DukeHub

The U.S. food supply is a series of intersecting actors: farmers, food processors, food retailers, and consumers. However, these actors are in a complex system of policies such as the U.S. Farm Bill, which includes agricultural support programs, nutrition policies, and environmental regulations. Beyond the policy realm, for-profit (agribusiness and food manufacturers) and non-profit (food banks and faith-based organizations) actors engage and respond to this food system. Informed by systems thinking, the goal of the course is to provide learners tools to understand and engage the U.S. food system
