Food Justice, Food Sovereignty, and Sustainability

Course Description: This course will focus on how we can create sustainable and just change in our food system and beyond. Students will explore the concepts of sustainability, sustainability leadership, food justice, and food sovereignty through community-based learning with the Wombyn's Wellness Garden (WWG) at the Oregon Food Bank. This course will focus on community building, group discussions and activities, and will work on projects that support the mission of the WWG. For Spring Term 2021, this course will be fully remote with the option to attend in-person meetings at the WWG (depending on Oregon's Covid policies). Optional in-person meetings will happen at the WWG on Mondays from 10am-12pm and synchronous Zoom meetings will happen on Wednesdays from 10am-12pm. The WWG is located at the Oregon Food Bank site at 7900 NE 33rd Drive Portland, OR 97266.
