About the course

The world needs ambitious change-makers to maximize and maintain global food production in an ethical, effective manner. If you want to be a part of that solution, this degree is for you. From farm to fork, you’ll grow to understand the complex social and scientific factors that influence food systems worldwide. Ultimately, you will use this knowledge to impact non-profit, human service, and agricultural industries around the world. Our program emphasizes experiential opportunities to give students practical, real-world skills. Students are required to complete an apprenticeship with the UK CSA farm where they learn to grow, harvest, and distribute organic vegetables. On the outskirts of Lexington, we own and operate a horticulture research farm where students and professors produce a variety of fruits and vegetables for research and consumption. It is also home to our nonprofit Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) project that provides organic produce to the Lexington community. As our student, this is just one of the many hands-on learning opportunities you’ll have. Community Food Systems: focus on issues related to food systems including food security and hunger issues with courses in nutrition, global issues, policies and more.
