An On-the-Ground Look at Food and Sustainability in Italy
News Subtitle
Students immerse themselves in food, culture, and climate.
Ten students in December traveled to Rome, Umbria, and Tuscany as part of a sustainable food systems immersion trip sponsored by the Sustainability Office.
They visited with farmers, chefs, and others and learned about crucial connections between landscape, climate, and culture. A key goal was to advance the Dartmouth Climate Collaborative's mission to cultivate climate-conscious citizens through hands-on learning and to explore the importance of food and sustainability.
The trip started with Food at the Nexus of Territory, Tradition, and Climate Change, an international symposium co-sponsored by Dartmouth and the American Academy in Rome.
