Do you research food, food systems or a topic related to food?

TABLE & @foodpolicycitysg.bsky.social in partnership with @wellcometrust.bsky.social, have launched a new survey to learn what you want from food research, what you need from funders, & key topics.

Take the survey here: buff.ly/ROPrwTY

A flyer for a food research survey put out by TABLE, the Wellcome Trust and the Centre for Food Policy. The text says "Are you a food researcher? We want to hear from you to help shape the food research agenda for the EU and the UK! Take our survey to share your views on on how research and funding can better facilitate food system transformation. Results are anonymous, and will feed directly into Wellcome Trust’s food research strategy for the next 10 years."

It was amazing to have Corinna Hawkes come and share her knowledge with our Masters in Food Policy students, Centre for Food Policy, @citystgeorges.bsky.social . She talked about the @fao.org food systems approach to the big challenges. Some great questions were asked by our students too!

Do I know any big scale, commercial farmers in the UK? We are looking for some to interview about climate and resilience in this specific part of the food chain.

Any contacts or suggestions appreciated.

🚨 New publication!
We mapped Scotland’s food environment & found big differences by deprivation.
🍽️ 60% of outlets are out-of-home
📍 Glasgow has highest density
📊 Least deprived areas=more restaurants, fewer takeaways
