EIT FoodScienceClass

Why Food Science Class?

Food grown in nature can be transformed by technology into safe, long-lasting and nutritious products.

But are we familiar with the different food production processes that bring products to supermarkets?

Understanding how food systems work is necessary to make them better.

And conscious consumers are essential in the transformation of food systems!

The EIT FoodScienceClass brings food science and technology into classrooms and turns students into young food researchers to help raise a new generation of empowered citizens.

Informed consumers >> conscious food choices >> healthier and more sustainable diets >> future-proof food systems

1. It all starts in the classroom

Lectures will serve as a learning space on the topics of food production and processing, nutrition, cooking and sustainability. Students will also learn how to critically evaluate food and health information in the media and online.

2. Students become detectives

Students will investigate the techniques and ingredients used to produce the foods they commonly eat. With academia and industry as mentors, they will identify the benefits and challenges involved in food production. 

3. They inspire their communities

Students will be trained on science communication and be responsible to spread their knowledge to their respective communities!
