Cambridge Global Food Security
An Interdisciplinary Research Centre at the University of Cambridge
We focus all our research towards answering one key question:
Interdisciplinary projects are grouped into nine themes, all of which aim to consider the food system as a whole, particularly the three intertwined pillars of:
- Sustainable and fit-for-purpose production
- Resilient and efficient processing, distribution and supply
- Ethical and healthy consumption
within the contexts of business, policy, and civil society.
"The challenge is to deliver nutritious, safe and affordable food to a global population of over 9 billion in the coming decades, using less land, fewer inputs, with less waste and a lower environmental impact. All this has to be done in ways that are socially and economically sustainable."
Prof. Sir John Beddington, Government Chief Scientific Adviser Forward to UK Global Food Security Strategic Plan 2011-2016
