Abstract

The global food industry is a useful domain for examining ethical challenges and exploring paradoxes. The authors make the case for the use of art, design, and aesthetic experiences to provoke students to see the world differently and take action. Issues of consumer consciousness, cultural identity, environment, politics, and the growing separation from the developed and less developed countries are considered with suggested activities to bring these to life. The paper offers suggestions for future research, teaching ideas, and a set of food industry resources for the classroom.
