The Transforming UK Food Systems Strategic Priorities Fund (SPF) programme has awarded 11 new research projects with £14 million in funding, focusing on putting healthy people and a healthy environment at its core.
This scenarios sub-report summarises the outputs of an intergenerational, multi-stakeholder dialogue based on the GFS scenarios report The role of the UK food system in meeting global agreements: potential scenarios. This report was selected to feed into the UK Member State Dialogue for the 2021 United Nations Food System Summit.
Coinciding with the 2021 United Nations Food System Pre-Summit (26-28 July), the Global Food Security programme has published its new multi-stakeholder dialogue report. The report was selected to feed into the official UK Member State Dialogue for the UN Food System Summit.
The food system could play an central role in meeting the Paris Climate Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals. But what kind of opportunities, challenges and trade-offs might we encounter along the way?

This scenarios report is based on the outputs of a cross-stakeholder scenarios exercise exploring the role of the UK food system in meeting global agreements. The four plausible food system scenarios highlight the potential opportunities, challenges and trade-offs that could arise during food system transformation.
This sub-report provides an overview of the evidence supporting the plausibility of the scenarios in the GFS report: The role of the UK food system in meeting global agreements: Potential scenarios.

The Global Food Security programme has published a scenarios report exploring potential transformation pathways to align the UK food system with global agreements. Through stimulating thought and discussion about the future of the UK food system, this report aims to help policymakers navigate uncertainty, facilitate long-term decision-making, and inspire immediate action.

This month experts came together for the second meeting of the crop breeding and climate modelling working group. The aim of the working group is to identify ways to protect our food supply in the face of a changing climate and extreme weather.
As the climate crisis escalates, so will its impacts on crop production. To protect our food supply in the face of a changing climate and extreme weather, GFS has launched a working group to improve communication and information sharing between crop breeders and climate modellers.
Valeria Shumaylova (University of Cambridge) and Aled Jones (Anglia Ruskin University) describe the rationale behind their recent project exploring data science techniques to study the link between food production shocks, food prices and food riots.
