What is 野菜ソムリエ?


I have trouble understanding the concept of 野菜ソムリエ.

I have searched
[Wikipedia](http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%BD%E3%83%A0%E3%83%AA%E3%82%A8#.E3.81.9D.E3.81.AE.E4.BB.96.E3.81.AE.E3.82.BD.E3.83.A0.E3.83.AA.E3.82.A8)
and
[others](http://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=%E9%87%8E%E8%8F%9C%E3%82%BD%E3%83%A0%E3%83%AA%E3%82%A8)
but I can't understand if it is the name of a media job, or the name of a
restaurant job.

I feel it might be more of a cultural question actually, but I don't know yet
as I don't understand the word itself.

, etc. From these pages, we can see the "野菜ソムリエ" is not a job, but a
qualification. It is a qualification for people withe various knowledge of
vegetables and fruits: classification, nutrition, cooking method, quality,
etc.
