Description

This course - Food/Justice, Farming, and Eco-Theology in the City - engages with these theological and ethical perspectives in the context of the Greater Toronto Area. Where does food in the city come from, how does it shape our communities and sense of belonging? Who gets to eat nutritious foods and who goes hungry? How are churches advocating for food justice? How may we decolonize our food systems in an urban environment? The course will focus in on these and other questions in conversation with and informed by (Christian) eco-theology, Ignatian (eco)-spirituality, and Indigenous teachings.
