University of Michigan’s Sustainable Food Systems Initiative present Food Literacy for All. The course is a community partnership and is structured as an evening lecture series, featuring different guest speakers each week to address diverse challenges and opportunities of both domestic and global food systems. The course is designed to prioritize engaged scholarship that connects theory and practice. By bringing national and global leaders, we aim to ignite new conversations and deepen existing commitments to building more equitable, health-promoting, and ecologically sustainable food systems. This community-academic partnership course will be co-led by Jennifer Blesh, agroecologist and Assistant Professor in the School of Natural Resources and Environment, and Malik Yakini, Executive Director and a co-founder of the Detroit Black Community Food Security Network.
