Sustainable and resilient food systems
Food supplies are threatened by extreme weather, diminishing water supplies and geopolitical instability, such as the war in Ukraine. Our work aims to investigate the various vulnerabilities that is facing our food system and how to adapt solutions that are environmentally friendly, and people focused.
Our researchers answer the following question, using expertise and facilities within the University and beyond: How can we make our food system less fragile and more resilient?
Using advanced technologies to better understand soil structures so we can improve our agricultural practices
Making underutilised and overlooked crops part of mainstream diets
Understanding plant features to better feed our planet
Developing a better understanding of how soil and roots interact with each other
How can we develop crops and livestocks that are resilient to climate change?
