Sustainable Food Surplus Practice

Individuals involved in community food volunteer organisations, NGOs, charitable bodies or the broader food supply chain who already have a background in food handling, community work or sustainability will find this programme suitable.

The module "Introduction to Surplus Food" examines the global impact of food surplus, links the EU Farm to Fork Strategy with UN Sustainable Development Goals and explores circular economy concepts, providing a concrete foundation for the rest of the course.

By studying the management, safety and redistribution of surplus food, students engage with pressing questions about food waste, security and equity. Graduates can apply this knowledge in diverse settings.
