Our research and associated education and engagement are in two broad themes – Food System Transformation and Healthy People, Healthy Planet. We especially focus on the interactions between the two.

Improving the effectiveness and sustainability of agri-food systems is vital to tackling the challenges of:

• global population growth
• rapid urbanisation
• food and environmental security
• diet and health

These challenges occur in low- and middle-income countries, as well as in more industrialised nations.
