Category Archives: Plant-Based Nutrition Certification

This certification in Plant-Based Nutrition is offered through eCornell, the online branch of Cornell University. It consists of three courses (each two weeks long): Nutrition Fundamentals, Diseases of Affluence and Principles in Practice. The main lecturer is Dr. T.
