This course introduces students to the challenge of food in urban cities through the lenses of research, technology, business creation, as well as social equity and justice. Students will learn how a place like Chicago, which is within an agriculturally established state like Illinois, has managed (or not) these various trade-offs associated with food and farming in an urban city. Students will also encounter the “global-ness” of food, which suitably problematises the extent of “self-sustainability” that cities should aim for. Through this course, students will learn to understand food in a more complex but therefore also a more realistic way.
