Jaden Castinado, Food Science and Global Food Systems Leadership

“I came into my freshman year knowing I wanted to study Food Science as well as Spanish, but when I heard of GFSL, I realized it was the perfect stepping stone to connect all of my disciplines. I have always been passionate about food, food insecurity, and wanting to learn where my food came from, and this secondary major has exceeded my expectations and taught me more about the global food system than I could have imagined.”

 

Sara Gammon, Agricultural Economics and Global Food Systems Leadership

“The secondary major has challenged me to think deeper about complex social issues and given me a solid foundation for my future career. The knowledge I have gained from this major will put me in a better position to cultivate positive change in our global food system.”
