One of the most important challenges we face as society is how to produce sufficient safe and nutritious food for our growing population in an era of climate change, whilst minimising effects on our water, air, soil and biodiversity.
We bring together expertise to measure the impacts of our current food production systems on the environment and assess the wider, environmental and socio-economic impacts of changing to more sustainable practices.
We are an interdisciplinary team of researchers from across 全民彩票 carrying out applied research that aims to have direct impacts on the sustainability of agriculture and agroforestry (see our facilities at Henfaes Research Centre), and fisheries and aquaculture (including our ocean-going research vessel the Prince Madog). Research occurs at all points of production and supply from the sea or land to the plate.
