We analyze the policies used to alleviate hunger and malnutrition around the world. Upon completion of the course, students should have gained extensive knowledge about the nutritional and physical impact of malnutrition on children and adults.  Students should have gained an understanding of the complex ways that malnutrition is explained through food supply and demand, weather and drought, food policies, international trade, and prices.
