Since 2017, the University of Michigan Sustainable Food Systems Initiative (SFSI) has hosted a unique community-academic partnership course titled Food Literacy for All each winter semester. Structured as a virtual lecture series, Food Literacy for All features different guest speakers each Tuesday evening (6:30-8pm EST) to address diverse challenges and opportunities of both domestic and global food systems. The course aims to ignite new conversations and deepen existing commitments to building more equitable, health-promoting, and ecologically sustainable food systems. Students can enroll in the course for credit, and community members can join the sessions for free.
This course is co-led by Dr. Bénédicte Boisseron (LSA, Afroamerican & African Studies) and Shiloh Maples (Community organizer and seed keeper). Food Literacy for All is partnered with the Detroit Food Policy Council, Oakland Avenue Farm, and Detroit Black Community Food Sovereignty Network.
