Addressing global grand challenges
This problem is a UK government area of research interest (ARI) that was originally posted at https://ari.org.uk/ by a UK government organisation to indicate that they are keen to see research related to this area.
What are the impacts of climate change, including society’s efforts to mitigate it and adapt to it, on the food system?
The food system does not stand in isolation from global challenges such as climate change, plastic pollution and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). We are also facing major health challenges, including an obesity crisis, due to poor diet and nutrition.
We need to understand how these impact on the food system, either directly or as the result of mitigations/solutions being introduced and the role our science can play to help address these major threats. As an evidence provider, we will support cross-government initiatives, such as the UK AMR National Action Plan and Net Zero Strategy.
