The study is part of the IKnowFood project, which aims to develop a unifying understanding of food system resilience.
“As well as investigating consumer behaviour and wellbeing, the IKnowFood project is also exploring how farmers in the UK, and businesses across the global food supply chain, can become more resilient in the face of growing uncertainty in markets, regulation and the natural environment” says Jon.
This inter-disciplinary and multi-stakeholder approach intends to remove disconnects and enhance overall food system resilience both nationally and globally.
