Food EDU
Who we are: Food EDU is an open-access educational platform advancing translational research and empowering learners across the globe to improve human and planetary health.
What we do:
Addressing complex food systems challenges will require collaboration across sectors involving food, agriculture, health and nutrition. We provide interdisciplinary, open access courses and trainings for students, scientists, policy makers and healthcare practitioners around the world.
Courses and Trainings
Through the co-creation of highly engaging educational curriculum—including eLearning courses, webinars, case studies, and scientific trainings—we aim to build the capacity of the global scientific community to address food and health related challenges.
Foodomics and Society Course
This course explores what is in our food, how we know our food and ways comprehensive food composition data can be used to improve food systems, human nutrition and the environment.
The Periodic Table of Food Initiative (PTFI) Science Trainings
These trainings offer a comprehensive exploration of The PTFI’s research principles and standardized methodologies used for generating comprehensive food composition data.
Academic Integration
Food EDU courses and trainings are used by academic and research institutions around the world.
With our facilitator and learner guides, as well as direct links to video-based lessons on the Food EDU YouTube channel, we make it easy to integrate eLearning modules, lessons, case studies, and exams in classroom and lab settings.
Food@Heart
Access to affordable and nutritious food is a cornerstone of healthy living. The American Heart Association continues to make food central to our mission of being a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives.
In addition to Food EDU, the Association is championing food as medicine through our Health Care by Food Initiative, and advancing healthy living through our Healthy for Good platform.
