It is
paramount that we all engage to advance human sustainability, and a sustainable
food system is foundational. KPU offers this unique and intensive
graduate-level program of study for you to gain the crucial knowledge and
understanding needed to advocate for and work for critical food system change
in your community and around the world. The food system impacts every aspect of
society and must change to respond to the challenges of sustainability,
including food insecurity, climate change, environmental degradation and
resource depletion. That change needs leaders and activists with a deep
understanding of the very real and critical social, environmental and economic
challenges associated with our dominant food systems. Our food system impacts
almost every aspect of society. From production, processing, and distribution
to consumption and waste, our choices are affected by, and have an impact on,
the whole system. Unfortunately, our current dominant food system contributes
to environmental destruction, climate change, epidemic food-related diseases
and a lack of food equity.
