Description
The Applied Local Food System (ALFS) minor and concentration is a truly cross-disciplinary program where students, instructors, community internship host sites, and community members learn through collaboration. As a cohort, ALFS students apply their knowledge to design innovative solutions to local food system challenges by improving equity, environmental function and ecosystem services, and economic viability. This will contribute to the enhancement and construction of resiliency and equity within the larger global food system.
