The Food Studies theme has Spring 2018 courses that fill various Ohio University general education requirements—just in time for registration.

Dr. Brad Jokisch, Associate Professor of Geography, is teaching Agricultural Ecosystems (GEOG 3340). The course begins with the origins and history of the agriculture system and moves into the modernization of the system with the popularity of industrial agriculture. Students are educated on the critiques of these practices and the best alternatives that are being created around the world.

Dr. Paul Patton, Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Food Studies, is teaching Origins of Food Production (ANTH 3600). This course explores the origins of plant and animal domestication cross-culturally, focusing on the similarities and differences between different cultures as they adopted food production as a subsistence strategy. The course also considers the effects of farming on human health, human social organization, and global ecology and environment.
