Overview

Food is everywhere. It's an essential part of our daily lives, and has wide-ranging implications for our health and well-being, for the economy, for national and global politics, for the environment, for innovation and technology, for science and agriculture, for our cultural identity, and most importantly, for our long-term survival.

Food Studies @ Penn is designed to bring together in one place information about

• Courses: Current, Past and Future. Nutrition Minor.
• Upcoming Events
• Faculty, Staff and Student Clubs
• Penn Library Resources, including Guide to Research in Food Studies, Electronic Resources, New Books Plus, Feature Films, Documentaries, and Penn Culinary Collections

and other resources relating to food and food studies here at Penn. We are beginning to develop a community of faculty, students and staff interested in working together to share insights and expertise and to learn from each other.

The website Food Studies @ Penn is a work-in-progress, and we will be adding more information and resources relating to food studies at Penn in the weeks and months ahead.
