Sowing ideas, cultivating solutions
We will strengthen Nottingham’s reputation as the only UK university offering research expertise and capabilities across the food system.
We bring together researchers from across disciplines and work with industry and policymakers to deliver solutions to transform the food system, from production and processing, through to transport, consumption and waste. Our mission is to ensure access to palatable, healthy and sustainable food for all, while protecting and regenerating the Earth’s natural resources in the face of climate change.
