Where does bread come from, and will we always have it? This course will briefly examine how grain (especially wheat, rice, and corn) is grown across the world, and how that is likely to change with climate change. Class will start with a short presentation covering the geography of where grains are grown, with some economic consideration of how they are produced, marketed, and consumed. An in-class activity will then involve close reading and discussion of selections from expert reports on climate change and agriculture. We will conclude by discussing the political issues raised by agricultural changes, focusing mostly on the U.S. context.
