Tomorrow's Sustainable Kitchen

The courses aim to improve knowledge about the relationships between our health, our food, how our food is made, and our environment while inspiring us to make decisions that will protect our health and the environment's health. After completing the course, a learner with no previous food, nutrition, sustainable, mindful eating, or cooking skills will be able to 1. evaluate contemporary food choices for their impact on both human health and planetary sustainability, 2. achieve stepwise personal behavior change towards healthier, more sustainable eating, 3. prepare healthy, delicious meals using simple techniques and readily available ingredients, and 4. incorporate into their lives, the practice of food mindfulness, dietary moderation, varied meal composition and self-compassion with regard to their eating behaviors and food choices. Together, these skills and competencies will facilitate a lifelong, positive, and health-promoting relationship with food for each individual learner and their loved ones.
