Food is essential. It gives us life. It gives us health, energy, vitality; it helps us to survive, to grow and to adapt. Food is everything. And so its future is precious. EIT Food provides the right knowledge.
Because the thing that unites seven billion of us can just as easily divide us. Food inequality is at an all-time high, the population continues to grow as resources continue to deplete, and all in the age of fake news and misinformation.
These problems need innovative solutions and creative minds to come up with them. That’s where you come in.
EIT Food are equipping learners all over Europe and beyond with the skills and knowledge they need to make a lasting impact on a rapidly evolving sector. You won’t just learn how to keep pace with it. You’ll have access to the latest research on the food you eat. Knowledge about nutrition is essential for a better living.
The courses are provided by top universities and research centres. Among the others: University of Cambridge (UK), Queen’s University Belfast, University of Reading (UK), University of Warsaw (Poland), University of Turin (Italy), European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT).
Through their flexible online courses, and with the support of a global network of learners, researchers, experts and entrepreneurs, you’ll be inspired by some of the brightest minds the sector has to offer. You’ll get the freedom to immerse yourself in groundbreaking research, constantly feeding your appetite for learning, all at the forefront of innovation.
The future they see is an industry that works better for everyone, for life. One that doesn’t just survive, but grows and adapts. If you share their vision for the future of food, start shaping it with EIT Food Education.
Many of us see the food on our plate without really knowing its story: where and how it was produced, and the impact its production has on people, communities and the environment.
Yet, food production is currently responsible for a number of environmental and social issues, while becoming more vulnerable to the consequences of the very same issues it feeds into. With increasing temperatures, decreasing availability of arable land and a growing world population, our food system can no longer afford to continue with unsustainable practices – it must undergo a massive transformation.
Part of the problem is that many of us have lost touch with where our food comes from.
