Our Objectives

We see the role of food at national, community, family and individual levels. The impact on development goes far beyond survivability and physical bodily growth. At the same time, agriculture has key contributions to the economy and employment, and impact on the environment. We are developing a holistic understanding of food innovations and systems with the aim to support improvements in safety, security, accessibility and sustainability.
