Hostos College in Bronx to Offer a Food Studies Program
In an unusual English class at Hostos Community College in
the Bronx, students do not immerse themselves in the words of Chaucer,
Fitzgerald or García Márquez.
Instead, they study food critics like Michael Pollan and
thinkers like Wendell Berry, write essays on the merits of processed versus
unprocessed foods, and run their own farmers’ market on campus as part of their
research.
The class is a pilot course, part of an interdisciplinary
food studies program that has been under development at Hostos for more than
two years and will enroll students this fall for the first time. The new
program will go beyond the traditional culinary classes offered at many schools
to provide students with a broad overview of food policy, social justice,
environment, health, science and business. It aims to prepare them for jobs as
technicians, analysts, nutritionists and entrepreneurs in the fast-expanding
food industry in the Bronx, home to the Hunts Point food markets, and
elsewhere.
Hostos’s program is intended to train a new generation of
professionals in the food industry and empower them to address longstanding
socioeconomic issues involving food in their communities. At a time when the
Bronx, the city’s poorest borough, faces a growing health crisis from diabetes
and obesity-related illnesses, many residents say they do not have convenient
or affordable access to fresh fruits and vegetables.
“We will become a pipeline of graduates who are primarily
Latino, African-American, and individuals currently impacted by inequities in
the system who will now have a voice at the table,” said Odalys Diaz Piñeiro,
director of special programs at Hostos, who sees the food studies program as “a
pathway to sustainable change” in the Bronx.
Students like Shaughn Bulgar, 18, a Bronx resident, are
ready to sign up. “I live here and I don’t have many options,” said Mr. Bulgar,
who gained 10 pounds last year from eating pizza almost every day. “Fast food
is usually the only thing around, so that’s what I eat.”
Hostos, which is part of the City University of New York,
has long been intertwined with life in the Bronx. With more than 7,000
students, the college’s programs have trained nurses, dental hygienists and
radiologic technologists, and are often the first step for immigrants and
others who continue their studies at four-year colleges.
Hostos’s dean of academic programs, Felix Cardona, said that
the idea for the food studies program grew out of faculty and staff discussions
about the importance of food to the Bronx’s future. In 2013, the college
started offering a certificate program in how to run a green market. This
spring, it will offer a similar program in the culinary arts.
“It was a glaring gap in our curriculum and I think we
needed to be responsive to that,” Professor Cardona said.
