This program looks at the food systems of society, and their environmental and economic impacts through land and water usage, production, transportation and distribution, and animal and human welfare/health. We will examine conventional agriculture and then focus on how we can move to sustainable food systems through local, organic, poly-culture and community shared models, and behavior changes individuals can make such as school and backyard gardening, food preserving, and supporting local farmer’s markets, co-ops and environmentally conscious restaurants. We will visit local farms, including Osprey Wilds’ very own Trapp Farm.
