Community Engagement in Agri-Food Systems

3 credits · Undergraduate

The goal of this class is for you to directly apply the knowledge you have gained through your food and agriculture-related coursework in a real world setting. As such, the primary emphasis of the class is completing a 70-hour community-based internship with a food and agriculture organization, typically (but not exclusively) in the Bay Area. You may elect to participate in internships with an established community partner or an organization of your own choosing. Class time will be devoted to guiding and supporting your internship and will emphasize individual check-ins, group discussion, and activities designed to underscore the basic principles of community engagement.
