This course from EIT Food and the University of Reading explores why consumers don't trust the food supply system and examines the principles and practices that could improve food safety and sustainability for future generations.

Consumers are often in the dark about how their food is made, and a lack of clear information has sown distrust in the food we eat and the people who produce it.

Many brands and food producers are moving toward safer, more sustainable operations, but regaining the confidence of consumers is another challenge.

EIT Food is a European Union-supported organization fighting for innovative, community-driven food practices.

EIT Food aims to help the food industry tackle low consumer trust through ethical production and community education.

This course, in partnership between EIT Food and the University of Reading, explores the food safety and sustainability problems our society faces and defines clear principles for consumers to identify whether they can trust a food or the company behind it.
