Food and health information is often oversimplified by the media, and recommendations can be inaccurately reported and contradictory to current recommendations.
By understanding and learning more about what’s in our food, we can make smarter, more sustainable, and healthier food choices.
On this course, you’ll access trustworthy information on the food system from food industry experts.
You’ll cover topics like food contaminants, food safety, ethical issues, and food sustainability considerations so that you can become a responsible partner in the food system.
This course is designed for anyone interested in food and looking for reliable information on how to make safer, healthier and more sustainable food choices.
It will be particularly useful for final year schools students undertaking a food-related subject or interested in food science as a potential career pathway.
The Educators won’t be able to join the discussions themselves or respond to individual comments, but the course encourages a strong learning community. The learning is focused around debate and discussion – supporting other learners, sharing your own experience and knowledge, and listening to new perspectives. We hope that you will enjoy interacting with and learning from each other in this way.
