Masterclass Certificate in Food Waste Evaluation

About this Podcast

HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to have Dr. Sarah Peterson, the instructor of the new course "Masterclass Certificate in Food Waste Evaluation". Sarah, can you tell us a bit about your personal experiences that led you to teach this course? GUEST: Absolutely! I've spent over a decade researching food systems and waste management. It's heartbreaking to see the amount of food we waste while so many people go hungry. This masterclass is an opportunity to share my knowledge and empower learners to make a difference. HOST: That's inspiring. Now, what current industry trends are most relevant to this course? GUEST: There's growing interest in sustainable food systems and waste reduction. Businesses and governments are recognizing the environmental, social, and economic benefits of minimizing food waste. Our course keeps up with these trends, providing practical skills and strategies. HOST: It sounds like there are many challenges in food waste evaluation. Can you share some of these challenges and how your course addresses them? GUEST: Sure. One major challenge is the lack of standardized methods for measuring food waste. In our course, we provide clear guidance on measurement techniques, helping learners to accurately assess and address food waste issues. HOST: That's great. Now, looking to the future, where do you see the field of food waste evaluation heading? GUEST: I believe we'll see more emphasis on prevention rather than management after waste occurs. Our course prepares learners for this shift, focusing on strategies to reduce food waste at its source. HOST: Dr. Peterson, thank you for sharing your insights and for developing this important course. We're excited to see the positive impact it will have on our food systems. GUEST: Thank you for having me. I'm looking forward to seeing the changes our learners will make in their communities and beyond. Together, we can create a more sustainable food future.
