Agricultural Economics and Food System Sustainability
As part of the BBSRC funded project (FoodsEqual), I model impacts resulting from future changes to the UK food system, designed to benefit disadvantaged communities. We include in our research a variety of concerns, such as food prices, nutrition and demand, as well as land use and other environmental impacts throughout the life cycles of selected food products.

Areas of interest

  • Environment: Land use impacts, Contamination along the life cycle, Use of resources
  • Social: Epistemology of social impacts assessment, Social impacts of food systems
  • Health: Macro- and micronutrition, Diet-related diseases, Plant-based alternatives
  • Economics: Willingness-to-pay, Consumer behaviour towards quality signs
