Interview with a Food Science and Nutrition student
Lavil (21) is a year five student at the Faculty of Food Science and Technology of ITC. Lavil chose this major because he wants to make sure that Khmer farmers get a good price for their products. Food Microbiology and Food Chemistry are subjects Lavil likes, but he likes Nutrition and Health best because he loves to know about the mechanism of food in the human body. He still needs to study the standard for food safety. In the future he would like to work in quality control or quality assurance.
