ES PhD: Food and the Environment
A vibrant area of interest is the relationship between food, health, social justice, and the environment. Students and faculty are work with a variety of partners, including community groups, schools, local governments, the Grange, farmers, community gardeners, teachers, and fair trade migrant workers, and advocates. Students and faculty conduct applied research contributing to more sustainable, just, and resilient food systems.
