FoodTech, the advanced field of food science, is a key to addressing the growing global hunger crisis that has been escalating since 2005 – a phenomenon caused by rapid population growth, global warming, environmental pollution, and other factors. This course will provide students with a deep understanding of various aspects of FoodTech and equip them with essential tools to tackle the nutritional challenges threatening humanity in the 21st century.

Throughout the course, emphasis will be placed on developing food products with high nutritional value while ensuring consumer health. Students will acquire knowledge in innovative food preservation techniques and waste reduction methods through the utilization of waste and damaged products unfit for consumption. FoodTech's crucial contribution to environmental sustainability will be comprehensively analyzed, including ways to create food products from alternative sources ("food from waste") and minimizing waste quantities to negligible percentages.

The course will include 2-3 lectures featuring demonstrations and cooking methods that will develop practical skills in the field of FoodTech. This hands-on approach will provide up-to-date and practical tools for developing innovative and healthy food products, while fostering critical and creative thinking and accumulating multidisciplinary knowledge that will serve students in their future careers.

* The course material will be tailored to the age of the learners.
