Future Foods: Can we reduce the carbon footprint of our favorite meals?
Food and climate are deeply connected. Students will dig into data to discover how our food choices impact greenhouse gas emissions. They will propose solutions to reduce their carbon “foodprint,” both as current consumers and as future food engineers. Students will eat this up in class and savor it for years to come!
