Students work on assignments in pairs and small groups to create 8- to 10-minute video about one of several Los Angeles partner organizations that advocate for healthy, local, sustainable food. Consideration, through video production, of challenges posed by existing farming, ranching, and distribution methods, and strategies these groups are pursuing to create more sustainable food pathways. Students look at social media communication strategies to help think through intervention in face of historically entrenched industrial food production and regulations that remain favorable to mass-produced, processed food items.
