New Course Offering From the Vegan Studies Initiative
?
In partnership with Arihanta Institute's Vegan Studies Initiative, we would like to share their upcoming course, Feeding the World: Toward a Plant-Based Food System. The global food system is a paradox: it is at once incredibly productive and terribly destructive. Perhaps nowhere is this paradox more evident than in animal agriculture, which feeds billions of people but causes widespread environmental, public health, and ethical problems.
?
asks what the food system would look like without large-scale animal agriculture and what the benefits and challenges would be to feeding the global population on a plant-based diet. It will introduce students to the concept of food systems and food system analysis, delve into the impacts of animal agriculture, and sketch out the possibilities for building a plant-based food system.?
?
If we can't visualize a vegan future, then how will we create it??

Dr. Jan Dutkiewicz is Assistant Professor in the School of Social Science and Cultural Studies at the Pratt Institute and a Contributing Writer at Vox. He has written about the politics of food for The New Republic, The Guardian, The Washington Post, WIRED and The Wall Street Journal.
