The programme has been co-designed by the Food Standards Agency (FSA), BBSRC, ESRC, NERC, and Defra, in partnership with others.

Global Food Security programme has potential to influence FSA’s own evidence base

The FSA have said that they see real potential for the Global Food Security programme projects to influence their own evidence base. Particularly around consumer rights and securing the best food future possible, which are outlined in the FSA’s Strategic Plan 2015-2020.

This event aims to bring together researchers from biological, environmental and social sciences and representatives from policy, industry, NGOs and other relevant stakeholders to provide insight on the call themes as well as encourage development of partnerships and collaborative proposals in food security and resilience.
