Food and Nutrition for Global Health Equity

Three credits · Undergraduate

This course focuses on nutrition in tackling global disease burdens and achieving global health equity. It explores concepts, actors, governance, interventions, Sustainable Development Goals, nutrition transition, and other nutrition-related risk factors. The knowledge-translation framework, together with assets-based and integrated “bottom-up” approaches to community development, permeates the course and gives basis to the major course assignment. Various local and international guest speakers broaden the understanding of lecture topics. Credit will be granted for only one of HLTH 421 or HNU 497 (2017-2018). Cross-listed as HNU 421. Prerequisite: HLTH 301 or HNU 142. Three credits.
