From the challenges associated with sustainable food production, to developing new (nutritionally balanced) food products, promoting health literacy and nutrition literacy, to nutritional intervention in a global context marked by the high costs (personal, social and economic) associated with chronic non-communicable diseases, students will develop skills, including their ability to critically analyse these challenges, combining research with the development of innovative solutions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"post-field clearfix\">\n<h2

From the challenges associated with sustainable food production, to developing new (nutritionally balanced) food products, promoting health literacy and nutrition literacy, to nutritional intervention in a global context marked by the high costs (personal, social and economic) associated with chronic non-communicable diseases, students will develop skills, including their ability to critically analyse these challenges, combining research with the development of innovative solutions.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->","custompostfields_course_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph {\"placeholder\":\"Set
