### Why study this course? Food affects every aspect of our lives. It influences how we grow, how we feel and how healthy we are at every age. As populations grow and live longer, understanding the link between food, nutrition and health is becoming increasingly important. As the world's population grows, the food sector faces challenges around sustainability, food production and making sure everyone has access to safe, nutritious food.
