Food Studies

Welcome to Food Justice Month!

October 1, 2011

For the past few years, Oxy has celebrated "Local Foods Month," and this year we're expanding our goals a bit--local food remains an important part of this month's awareness raising activities, but we're also looking at the issues faced by people who grow, harvest, process, vend and serve the food we eat.  We're also examining diet and nutrition disparities, and the effect of poverty on access to healthy food. Please check out the Food Justice Month Events tab, for a full (and growing) list of activities that will be happening on and around campus this month.  If you're interested in blogging on this website, email shaffer@oxy.edu. Here's to a month of good food!
