Class of 2029 — Food and Resilience in Puerto Rico Live Webcast
Puerto Rico’s food system is marked by an inadequate availability of affordable, fresh food and a high proportion of imported food. These issues lead to substantial health impacts, difficulties providing food after natural disasters, high economic and environmental costs, and limited opportunities for local food producers. Your task will be to reimagine Puerto Rico’s food system to promote food security, public health, resilience to natural disasters, and environmental sustainability, and to identify practical pathways toward enacting your proposed changes.

Terrascope is a learning community for first-year students to solve complex, real-world problems starting in their first semester at MIT.
At the core of the Terrascope program is one basic but important idea: MIT students, even as first-year students, are ready to take control of their own education and to tackle big, important problems. With each new class of first-year students, Terrascope explores a different global issue – and it’s the students who take command. Our students work in teams to develop solutions, drawing on diverse perspectives, interdisciplinary research, and a supportive Terrascope community.
Each academic year, Terrascope hosts three events that are free and open to the public and showcase the final product of our students’ endeavors in the Terrascope classes. Members of the public are encouraged to attend these events and give feedback to our students.
