Our mission: making Europe’s food provision more sustainable.
What we do
We investigate Europe’s food systems, asking key questions: What is holding us back from transitioning towards more sustainable food systems? How can these lock-ins be overcome? What policy and business shifts are necessary to promote more sustainable agricultural practices?
We find answers using a combination of experimental methods and a systems thinking approach, considering the whole agri-food chain from farmer to consumer.
We connect all relevant stakeholders (practitioners, researchers, and policy stakeholders) in order to maximise the impact of our findings.
