This course aims to describe the interdependence of food, health, consumer, culture, policies, trade, environment and health perspectives. The course covers special “food-issues”:
The special topics this year are:
how to reach out to more sustainable eating behaviour and its implementation in real life settings of every day life,
culinary practices and how to transform it into every day life
how to reach an overall sustainable life style
food appreciation
food communication
food perception, virtual reality and planetary health diet (PHD).
What are future challenges and trends? Can PHD serve as a possible concept to meet the challenges of our planet? How do we perceive food? Do foods and meals have codes, meanings by which we communicate?
Food and food issues are central and crucial for the development of local and international economies. Food and eating seem trivial yet food form the basis for life; it shapes individuals and cultures, but also has influence on international trades and policies.
In this course students are encouraged to consider critically the role of food in respect of developmental, environmental and health issues as well as topics which focus on food, governance and policies.
