Unravelling solutions for Future Food problems
Our society depends on the availability of healthy and sustainable food. According to the United Nations, nearly 800 million people worldwide are hungry. On the other hand, over 650 million people are obese. While many people in the Global South experience food shortages, in the Global North, people are throwing food away.
These facts show how paradoxical and complex the world鈥檚 food problem is. ln our Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), more than 10 food researchers from Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 will address the main issues of food consumption. We will cover two interrelated themes; Food Shortage and Healthy Choices. You will learn to identify the key ingredients of the world鈥檚 food challenges and to think about the solutions for enabling changes in the current food system. We will also look at the possible sustainable solutions for several acute issues: the demands of the growing human population, the role of nutrition, and the need to understand food choices to have healthier diets and consider the possibilities of alternative food.
The course is free and open to everyone. After completion, it is possible to receive a certificate (39 euros).
You can enroll four times a year, and go through the program at your own pace.
