Course Sustainable & Healthy Nutrition
The whole food ecosystem is facing challenges that keep it from meeting both sustainable and nutritional needs. These challenges can only be met if there is a proper understanding of how to deal with the dilemma between the qualitative and quantitative aspects of sustainability and nutrition. We also need to look beyond just the product and take into consideration people's eating habits and the choices they make when it comes to their daily consumption.
Registration deadline: 4 September 2023
Why follow this course?
This course enables you to deliberate, calculate, and review the current and future product portfolio, on qualitative and quantitative aspects of sustainability and nutrition. This will improve for example your communication towards business clients and consumers with regard to the topic.
The content of the training is very good. Wageningen University & Research is obviously an expert in how to translate research results into practical knowledge – techniques that can be applied in the daily work environment. Sustainability aspects of food are highlighted from different perspectives and translated to smart solutions. Even though the content is very complex it becomes clear and easily understandable allowing us to implement the gained knowledge immediately in our airline catering work.
Is this course for you?

This includes the food industry, food service, food retail and f.i. consultants or people from education or research.
