Abstract
My Senior Individualized Project (SIP) addresses the topics food sustainability and food
justice. More specifically, it is about how the monopolized industrial food industry which
has created a disconnect between people and their food that is unhealthy, unjust, and
unsustainable, which enables the continued exploitation of people and the natural
environment. My SIP also discusses the Student Farm Movement in North America and
the ways in which this movement intersect with the greater food economy. Furthermore
my SIP discusses the role that institutions of higher education, specifically liberal arts
colleges, can and should play due to their unique disposition to address a
multidimensional problem, such as food sustainability, through an interdisciplinary
educational approach. Lastly, I bring attention to Kalamazoo College as a liberal arts
college and highlight past, present, and potential new directions for working together to
address issues of food sustainability and food justice.
