Diet for a Green Planet – managing transformations in the food system

OBS. Denna digitala utbildning är på engelska – därför är även beskrivningen nedan på engelska.

Become a change leader for sustainable food systems

Do you have an interest in food production or do you work with food? Do you find it challenging to fit together the concepts of healthy food and sustainability for people and the planet?

Food systems are a key factor in improving sustainability and you who work with food or are interested in food can become a change leader in this field. Leading change towards sustainable food systems requires a holistic approach because food often evokes emotions, the food system is complex and the rate of change is high in the area.

The Diet for a Green Planet online course is designed and adapted to professionals working with food and people with an interest in sustainability alike. The participants get thorough knowledge of sustainable food systems and work with their transformation and leadership qualities.

Welcome to a course that combines thorough knowledge of sustainable food with transformation management!

Note that:

• The Diet for a Green Planet course is conducted online.
• The course assignment is a plan for change you would like to achieve in your organisation/company/professional life.
