Addressing Global Food Security

Students investigate the issue of food security, exploring the components of food availability, food access, and food utilization on local, national, and global levels. Students will also learn about how Peace Corps Volunteers are working with communities to address issues. After conducting this initial research, students will organize a food security forum—either inviting expert panelists to participate in an interactive discussion, or taking the roles of expert panelists themselves. Finally, students will reflect on present and future food security challenges and potential solutions.
