Dr. Amy E. Potter: Using Food Security in Geography 1100: World Regional Geography at Armstrong State University part of The Wicked Problem of Global Food Security
My course is an introductory world regional geography class that fulfills the global perspectives requirement for the university. I teach this course thematically (largely traditional lecture format) with regional examples inserted throughout. I ran the module the last three weeks of the semester as a culmination of some of the human/cultural themes we discussed throughout the class with the exciting insertion of earth systems. The module allowed students to focus on the problem of food security in the context of a regional case study.
