Food, Agriculture, & Society Pathways Minor

In collaboration with the College of Agriculture & Life Sciences, we have launched a new Pathways minor, Food, Agriculture, & Society, open to students from across Virginia Tech. The minor requires our new Introduction to Food studies course along with a Sustainable Food Systems course; electives from across the humanities, social sciences, and applied sciences; hands-on learning courses; and a capstone course that can be fulfilled by study abroad, internship, thesis, or other experiential learning. See full details on the Pathways website here. Enroll in the minor here. 

If you have courses you'd like to add to or develop for the minor, please email Program Director Anna Zeide, zeide@vt.edu. We have supported the design of 9 new Food Studies courses from humanities and social science perspectives that are part of the minor, with the support of an NEH Humanities Connections grant and a Pathways Annual Grant.
