Dear all,
Thanks a lot for all the nice words I got on this initiative. It seems we will need many CDs. I did not reply to each e-mail but I am doing it through this mail.

Lesson 1.1: Introduction        2
UNIT 2: FOODS   4
Lesson 2.1: Food description and classification 4
UNIT 3: FOOD COMPONENTS 6
Lesson 3.1: Component definition        6
Lesson 3.2: Calculation and conversion of components and units  7
Lesson 3.3: Food component analysis     7
Lesson 3.4: INFOODS tagnames    8
UNIT 4: QUALITY CONSIDERATION   9
Lesson 4.1: Quality consideration       9
Lesson 4.2: Food biodiversity   9
UNIT 5: COMPILATION     10
Lesson 5.1: Compilation principles      10

Subject: FAO/INFOODS e-learning course on food composition ready for launch at 10th IFDC - #AGN-GENERAL


Dear all,
I am pleased to announce that FAO/INFOODS is developing an e-learning course on food composition which is intended mainly for universities to easily incorporate food composition into their curricula. It will also be useful for self-learners and food composition courses. The e-learning course will supplement the FAO/INFOODS Food Composition Study Guide and its accompanying 12 PowerPoint Presentations (see http://www.fao.org/infoods/infoods/training/en/ ). It will be available in English. You will be able to download it free-of-charge from the INFOODS website and receive it on CD. We intend to launch it at the 10th IFDC in Granada.

Even though it might be early at this stage, but I would like to invite those working in universities to signal to me if they intend to include such a course in their curriculum (and if they would need a CD). This information would be useful to know how many CDs should be produced.

Best wishes
Ruth
