Project description

Human health�and�livelihoods are closely coupled to�the�health of�the�environment � but this increasingly seems like a hopeless dilemma. How can we produce enough nutritious food for�the�growing population�and�improve�the�standard of living, while sustaining Earth�s diminishing natural resources, avoiding catastrophic climate change,�and�perhaps even leaving room for�the�planet�s other inhabitants? This is especially critical in developing countries where rural�and�urban people are experiencing rapid transformation ��and�stark choices. In one semester, we can�t solve all�these problems, but we will seek to understand�how�the�use�and�management of natural resources�andthe�history of�development�and�globalization are intertwined with global food security�and�health, culture�and�identity, livelihood security,�and�intergenerational environmental justice.�
