eco•info - Thought for Food
Loyola’s Solutions To Environmental Problems (STEP) program is taking on a new challenge this spring semester. Students in the STEP: Food Systems course will learn about the events leading up to the agricultural and green revolutions and the effects of the current industrial food system on global sustainability. Students will also work as a team to compost food waste generated at the Lake Shore Campus. The course was developed by the team whose proposal captured a $75,000 grant at the Environmental Protection Agency’s Expo Award program last spring.
