Food Literacy

Students explore the role of a nutrition and food services manager to meet the growing need for social and environmental responsibility in foodservices. There is a focus on local, national, and global issues and trends, emerging technologies, education, accessing local food and the growing urban agriculture environment. In collaboration with students of agricultural and culinary programs, students engage in growing produce in the urban farm and preparing food and healthy menus by accessing the Barrett Centre of Innovation in Sustainable Urban Agriculture and the culinary and farming resources of the W. Galen Weston Centre for Food.
