Sustainable Diets: The fundamentals for human and planetary health
https://courses.mynutriweb.com/courses/sustainable-diets:-fundamentals-for-human-and-planetary-health
The food we buy, cook and eat every day – as well as the way it’s produced – is key to addressing the challenge of sustainable healthy eating. This course explores the fundamental principles of a sustainable diet for human and planetary health. It aims to help all health professionals to develop the confidence and knowledge necessary to incorporate sustainability into their practice.
