Global Food Policy for Public

(3 Credits)

The global food system plays an essential role in public health by implicating nutrition, environmental concerns, and sustainability. Food and its many aspects has become a mainstay of international public health policy, discourse, and debate. This course examines current health policy issues related to the global food environment and delves into globalization, and international nutrition and food programs and policies on labeling, marketing, and pricing. We will additionally explore issues related to the food industry, world trade, and agricultural and environmental food production concerns. A portion of the course will take place live at one of NYU's global sites.
