Are you working but want a taste of grad school, and interested in #economics about #food, #agriculture, and #health?

My #FoodEcon class @tuftsnutrition is open to single-course students. Many employers will reimburse the tuition (crazy: $6k!), and you get credit + a Tufts transcript.

Class starts Jan 19th. Course meets in downtown Boston Tu-Th late afternoons, but can also be taken entirely online.

Economics for Food and Nutrition Policy

This course equips students with the principles used for economic analysis of food and nutrition policies around the world. We use the graphical methods taught in standard, one-semester courses on the principles of economics, but our motivation, examples and applications are focused on food and nutrition problems in the United States and elsewhere.

An #Introduction post.

I am a #FoodEconomist and a #Dietitian. #AgEcon and #NutritionScience trained.

I try to get #Nutritionists and #Economists to understand each other's fields better.

#Malnutriton and #DietQuality are two of the biggest determinants of #WellBeing and econ is all about improving well-being.

I teach #GlobalHealth, #FoodEcon, and #Nutrition. My research focuses on #NutritionData and the uses (and sometimes misuses) of #Data for nutrition improvement.
