Before I walked into Community Nutrition class on Tuesday I really was not sure what I was in for, other than what I had heard from previous classes about eating on $2 a day. After class I had a deeper understanding of what community nutrition is all about. Community nutrition encompasses a number of different things such as sustainability, support for local foods, and moving towards a healthier diet and lifestyle with assistance of our neighbors, friends, family, or others who share similar interests. Community Nutrition can also be looked at on a governmental level, thinking about laws and regulations that govern our societies in terms of funding and agricultural standards, for example.
I am excited to garden in this class, and I hope to learn more about gardening procedures and when to plant specific foods in order to result in an edible end product. I have gardened before, but I feel that I will gain a deeper understanding of techniques and gardening practices in this class. I am also looking forward to working in small groups on the project and meeting new people. Lastly, I am looking forward to the Locavore Brunch because I believe that eating local foods is incredibly important and I love to cook!
