University Centre Peterborough Students Explore Alternative Proteins in Sustainable Resource Workshop

Animal Conservation and Countryside Management students at University Centre Peterborough (UCP) put sustainable resource management into practice by sampling alternative food sources during a practical workshop.

As part of their Managing Environmental Resources module, students investigated alternative protein options, including insect-based proteins and climate-resilient crop innovations. The session challenged students to evaluate global food security, land-use efficiency, and methods for reducing carbon footprints in environmental management.

The hands-on activity forms part of UCP’s new HND curriculum, which combines practical experience with academic study to prepare students for careers in ecology, conservation, and countryside management.
