Course Catalog Description
Food insecurity is broadly defined as having unreliable access to adequate foods resulting in disrupted eating patterns or reduced food intake due to a lack of money and other resources for food. NST 20 will improve nutrition-related behaviors and support students in need of improving their food security status. Students whom have limited cooking and food preparation experience will acquire foundational nutrition knowledge and basic cooking skills to be able to prepare healthful and affordable meals in consideration of existing factors, such as: food availability; food budgeting; and time management.
