Published

Free, CPD-accredited training brings together global experts from across nutrition, agriculture, food systems and sustainability to help professionals navigate one of the most important topics in food and health.

Sustainable diets are increasingly part of conversations across healthcare, public health and nutrition. Yet they remain one of the most complex topics for nutrition professionals to navigate.

A new e-learning platform developed in collaboration with the British Nutrition Foundation and the School of Sustainable Food and Farming at Harper Adams University is helping healthcare professionals explore food systems, sustainable diets and UK food production through an evidence-based lens.

The programme has already generated significant interest since its launch in August 2026 with more than 800 learners registered within the first month. This enthusiasm highlights the growing demand for practical, evidence-based education that supports informed conversations and better decision-making across the food system.

Designed for healthcare professionals, it explores the connections between nutrition, food systems, environmental sustainability and real-world dietary choices. The flexible, evidence-based programme is structured across eight modules, taking learners on a journey through the many dimensions of sustainable diets.

  • 10 hours of self-paced learning plus additional learning materials
  • Expert speakers from over 20 global organisations
  • BDA CPD approved
  • AfN CPD endorsed
