Course Description:
This seminar explores the physiology and neuroscience of food-seeking behavior and the impact of food preferences on our agricultural landscape. Which dietary choices are compatible with optimal health? Which are sustainable? Will climate change force diversification of our diet? Can science enhance the nutritional value of food and bring justice to the hungry? We will be guided by popular writings by scientists and journalists and consider relevant data in scientific journals. |
