Section Description

NFS 1990: Delve into Dairy Foods is designed to provide students with an overview of the role of dairy in nourishing a healthy sustainable world. We will discuss the role of dairy foods in human nutrition, health and disease globally. This course takes you from the farm to the table, exploring milk production, handling, and processing, including pasteurization, homogenization, yogurt, cheese, ice cream, and innovative dairy by-products. We will learn the science behind milk’s nutrients, its role in human health, and the controversies that surround it. Along the way, this course will challenge students to imagine a world without cows and conclude with a hands-on experience in milk processing at the UVM Creamery, connecting classroom concepts to a real, local herd. By the end, we will will try to understand how dairy foods shape diets, drive industry innovation, and contribute to a sustainable future.
