Food Intersections Awareness Training
A curated learning module within the Ethos ecosystem
Overview
The Food Intersections Awareness Training is a foundational Ethos programme that explores how food systems intersect with culture, inequality, sustainability, and organisational practice.
It is designed as both an entry point and a starting layer for deeper engagement with Ethos Research and Advisory services, supporting participants to develop critical awareness of food systems complexity and its real-world implications.
This programme connects three core dimensions of understanding:
- Food systems literacy and critical awareness
- Cultural intelligence in food and organisational environments
- Applied sustainability and systems thinking
Rather than treating food as a single operational topic, the programme positions it as a system shaped by social, cultural, economic, and environmental forces.
Programme Format
This is a licensed learning programme designed for institutional and organisational delivery.
It is delivered as a self-contained package, enabling organisations to implement the training independently using Ethos materials, frameworks, and resources.
The programme is designed for flexibility and adaptation across different contexts, allowing it to be integrated into internal learning environments, professional development pathways, or community-based initiatives.
An optional Train-the-Trainer pathway is also available, supporting organisations to build internal capability and deliver the programme through their own facilitators.
Intended audience
This programme is designed for:
- Practitioners working in food systems, sustainability, or public health
- Educators and learning institutions
- Organisations developing food-related strategy or culture
- Teams seeking to build critical understanding of food systems complexity
What this programme enables
Participation supports:
- A deeper understanding of how food systems operate across social and cultural contexts
- Improved awareness of the relationship between food, inequality, and sustainability
- Stronger capacity to interpret real-world food system challenges
- More informed thinking around organisational and community-level interventions
Position within the Ethos ecosystem
This programme is positioned as an entry point into the wider Ethos system, which includes:
- ● Social and cultural research services
- ● Strategic advisory engagements
- ● Education and capability-building pathways
It is designed to support progression from awareness into applied understanding and, where appropriate, into deeper strategic or advisory collaboration.
