I took the Professional Certificate in Sustainable Food Systems and Nutrition at Stanmore School of Business to learn more about the social and environmental aspects of food production. As a Brazilian, I was interested in exploring the unique challenges and opportunities facing sustainable food systems in Latin America. The course was really helpful in providing a global perspective on these issues, with a focus on practical solutions and strategies for implementing sustainable food systems. I enjoyed the interactive discussions and group work, which allowed me to connect with fellow students from diverse backgrounds and share our experiences and insights. One of the most valuable takeaways for me was the importance of considering the cultural and social context of food systems, and how this can impact the effectiveness of sustainability initiatives. While some of the course materials felt a bit dense at times, overall I found the course to be well-structured and informative, and I appreciate the knowledge and skills I gained.
