In her new book, Real Food, Real Facts: Processed Food and the Politics of Knowledge, Charlotte Biltekoff explores friction between the U.S. public and food industry marketers when it comes to food processing. 

Biltekoff, who has a joint appointment in the Department of Food Science and Technology and Department of American Studies at UC Davis, straddles these two worlds — the food industry and cultural studies. 

During the fall quarter, our outreach and communications team had an incredible experience visiting over 12 community colleges and high schools to attend college fair events. Alejandra engaged with future students, sharing the amazing opportunities in the UC Davis Department of Viticulture and Enology (V & E). On these trips, our team brought new marketing material tailored for our different audiences that helped outline the major requirements and career opportunities.
