From Waste to Value - How to Tackle Food Waste edX - online learning platform

Overview

We are in a food waste crisis where 1/3 of all food is lost or wasted. As such, reducing the amount of food we waste has never been more important. Food is wasted for many reasons. For example, often we buy more food than we need or cook meals that create unwanted leftovers, and then we throw the uneaten food away. Sometimes, we forget about the food in our fridge and cupboards, so it goes past its use-by date, and we dispose of it.

This course will cover the latest trends and best practices in reducing food waste, from farm to fork. Whether you're a home cook, a chef, or a business owner, this course offers valuable information and actionable steps to make a positive impact on the planet.
