- Tentative: Food Policy
- Class Description:
- The production and consumption of food products is shaped as much by public policy as it is by the vagaries of the weather. Because specific policies impose costs on some segments of society and confer benefits to others, interest groups, social movements, and other actors engage in the political process and with policy makers in order to influence the distribution of these burdens and rewards. The social, political, economic, and cultural factors that influence the ways in which these participants interact with political decision makers and the consequences that result from these exchanges will be the primary emphases of the course. Over time, the sheer number of groups operating in the agricultural policy arena has expanded significantly as new issues such as the environment, public health, and sustainability have been placed on the agenda. By engaging with contemporary policies, programs, and state and local initiatives related to food systems, students will evaluate, analyze, and discuss the current state of domestic food policy making in a variety of areas. By the completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Identify and explain the roles that the major stakeholders and public institutions take in shaping domestic food policy. 2. Become informed on the current landscape surrounding domestic food policy including the 2014 Farm Bill and the process leading to it. 3. Have a deeper historical knowledge about the evolution of U.S. food policy over the last century and the ways in which these policies have increasingly been linked to other concerns about equity, the environment and public health. 4. Acquire a better understanding of how various stakeholders participate in political conflicts about food, and understand how these actors operate at different levels of government to promote preferred food policies. Be able to critique specific food policies through various lenses with respect to their evidence base, adequacy of implementation, impact and forces that hinder or help the implementation of the specific policy.
