  What you learn
  
  This course explores the lifecycle of household food waste. You will walk the whole cycle from resource to waste to resource covering generation, sorting, collection, valorisation of the waste followed by the creation of new products and their consumption. The course's practical application is showcased through a case study featuring a mini-biogas plant in Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg, which demonstrates the transformation from waste to biogas and liquid fertilizer used locally.
  
  What You Need
  
  You don't need any special materials or prior knowledge.
  
  How You Will Learn
  
  BioCycle combines theoretical knowledge with practical application in food waste management. The course is structured as a cycle of independent lessons, allowing participants to start at any point and approach them in any order. They consist of short explanation videos as well as interactive learning modules (H5P). The inclusion of a real-life case study featuring a mini-biogas plant in Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg illustrates the application of the theoretical concepts. The "Food waste self-assessment challenge" engages participants in actively assessing and reflecting on their own food waste practices.
