Opportunities in nutraceuticals
The Hindu
What are the different courses in this field?
Nutraceuticals are a combination of medicine and nutrition. With the wellness market growing globally, it offers a great opportunity for aspirants in the sector, as currently it lacks trained personnel. This is mainly because of a lack of awareness about the relevant subjects and courses. There is a need to address the skill gap by providing students and professions with projects, field practices and post production facilities.
Students should be provided with tools and the insights necessary to move the Traditional Foods and Pharmaceutical Industries towards a more effective, fruitful and sustainable partnership, so that the industry can collectively fulfil the goals of SDG 2: “End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.”
