Academic food studies stimulate discourse within the curricula of many disciplines. A wide range of academic departments at Williams are eager to develop programming with the Sustainable Food and Agriculture Program, and/or have coursework that use food as a lens through which to view their subject matter.

Holistically informing tomorrow’s food consumers and producers means that education is no longer just in the classroom but also in places where food is produced, processed and sold, using a participative teaching style.
