> >Here's a short summary of the program and some of our activities:
> > The Degree Program in Agriculture, Food and Environment in Medford,
> >Massachusetts, deals with interconnections among environmental, social,
> >nutritional and safety aspects of food supply. It combines Tufts
> >University's strengths in nutrition, environmental analysis, health
> >sciences, and environmental policy. Participating faculty come from the
> >School of Nutrition Science and Policy, the School of Veterinary Medicine,
> >the Program in International Environmental and Natural
> >Resource Policy at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, and the
> >Department of Urban and Environmental Policy. Students may enroll for M.S.
> >or Ph.D. degrees, or take selected courses.
> > The courses that deal most closely with food systems analysis are
> >"Food
> >Systems Analysis"(!), "Agriculture near Metropolitan Areas", and "Linking
> >Growers and Consumers". The latter is a summer field course structured
> >around field trips to many of the innovative programs in the Greater Boston
> >area.
> > Core faculty associated with the Degree Program are involved in a food
> >education/school garden project at a nearby urban elementary school; a
> >project to link hunger activism and sustainable agriculture work in the
> >Greater Boston area; projects to foster better connections among chefs,
> >local institutions, and local growers; and the work of the Northeast
> >Sustainable Ag. Working Group to analyze and improve Northeastern food
> >systems. We are also contributing to book projects on 1) the role of power,
> >knowledge and institutions in sustainability, with specific attention to the
> >connections between community food security and local food systems; 2) the
> >relations between social and environmental capital, as played out in local
> >food systems; and 3) visions of American agriculture.

> >this area that are working to link growers and consumers (e.g., Chefs
> >Collaboration: 2000, the Extension System, MA Dept. of Food & Agriculture's
