About
Background
In a global context marked by the Agenda 2030, sustainability is going to be one of the values governing society and a key competency for graduate students in the upcoming decades. Food discipline graduates will need to address challenges such as climate change, food waste and food losses as well as providing support to food producers seeking to meet global economic, social and environmental sustainability targets.
NEMOS project will link sustainability, service learning (SL) and food to demonstrate how the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) can be achieved. Higher Education (HE) is crucial to achieving the SDGs: to create a more sustainable world, a collective effort is required by all individuals and societies.
Objectives
Designing a new educational model based on how to effectively acquire sustainability competences, through service learning.
The graduates will be better prepared to face the challenges of our global world. The students will increase their awareness about sustainability and service learning, the global challenges of humanity and the importance of integrating all this in their professional future. The importance of sustainable food innovation is reflected in the 17 SDGs; in particular, in Goals 2 and 12.
