MPhil/PhD Food and Society

MPhil and PhD supervision covers a number of topics supported by research active academic staff. We conduct research in all areas of food and society, including subjects which require collaboration between the social and natural sciences, and translate research into policy recommendations.

Our research primarily involves food systems, food consumption and food marketing:

consumer studies in food, food provisioning and behaviour change
perceived risk associated with food and food production
food supply chains and territorial development
international political economy of food and agriculture
risk-benefit communication
acceptance of novel food and technologies within the value chain.
