PBHLTH W207A 001 001LEC

Course examines ways in which the US govt designs & implements policies/programs that affect access to nutritionally adequate, safe, affordable diets. We analyze how multiple stakeholders in the food system interact to affect policy design & implementation; historical, social, economic, environmental & political factors that determine stakeholder positions on policy issues; & ways these factors promote or act as barriers to achieving a system that promotes optimal food access, nutrition & health. We cover contemporary food & nutrition policy issues, as well as the history of these issues & ideas. Students will understand the broad spectrum of policies that affect human diets & will become familiar with the policy processes.
