Welcome!

Welcome! This is the course blog for Catarina Passidomo's Fall 2013 course on the Geography of Food. Students enrolled in the course (GEOG 3660) will use this blog to post articles and information from around the web that relate to our class discussions.

Each student is responsible for posting at least one news article published since January 1, 2013, to post two discussion questions to accompany the article, and to moderate classmate discussion for their article. Additionally, each student is responsible for participating in at least 5 separate discussion threads.

There are resources in the right sidebar, which you may utilize to find relevant news stories. Additionally, any major news source may be cited for our purposes.

Happy reading/posting/commenting!
