Food education is critical to navigate this changing landscape. A 21st-century transformation begins with the adoption of a human ecology program in every public school and reorienting human values and care in this highly capitalist society. Food education, within a human ecology program, frames a human-centered mindset for decision-making throughout life. Although food is foundational to all societies, few U.S. schools offer a food class in a dedicated food lab. Through human ecology, students begin to realize that communal interest is, in reality, self-interest: a win-win.
