More specifically, the seminar will emphasize collaborative learning in order to develop proposals that will benefit specific regions within Mexico and Rwanda. This seminar will provide an opportunity to expand beyond academic disciplines, gain valuable experience in product development, and strengthen communication, teamwork and research skills. The course will also allow students to overcome challenges, learn about current global issues alongside peers, become aware of contrasting paradigms regarding nutrition and food, and make connections with people from other fields of study within our faculty.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>Class Composition<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This seminar will allow third and fourth year students from different specializations within Land and Food Systems\u2013such as Global Resource Systems, Food Science, and Food, Nutrition and Health (including Nutrition and Dietetics)\u2013to gain different perspectives on how food science can help others in their community and the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FNH 490 004 \u2013 Food Science Applications\u00a0to Address Nutrient Deficiencies in Developing Countries Co-ordinators: Beatriz Ramos &amp; Chelsea Leung Faculty sponsors: Dr. Eunice Li-Chan &amp; Dr. Judy McLean Contact: beeramos@interchange.ubc.ca or chelssl@interchange.ubc.ca Time and location: Mondays &amp; Wednesdays 12-1:30pm\u2013Room 1210 in Civil and Mechanical Engineering building (CEME) Seminar Description The main goal of this seminar [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4254,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-updates"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/fnh490\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/fnh490\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/fnh490\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/fnh490\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4254"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/fnh490\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/fnh490\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/fnh490\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37\/revisions\/42"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/fnh490\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/fnh490\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/fnh490\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
