The Food Climate Research Network aims to provide a comprehensive research, policy and communications resource focusing on how the global greenhouse gas impacts of UK food consumption might be reduced.
The FCRN undertakes the following activities:
- Research: Seeks to improve our understanding of the impacts associated with the food chain and the options for emissions reduction, focusing both on the technological and behavioural dimensions
- Synthesis: Draws together what we do know, exploring how different issues fit together, and articulating these in a way that is accessible to a wider audience
- Networking and communication: Provides a means, through seminars and the membership mailing list, by which others can come together to share and seek information
- Momentum building: Engages with policy makers, business, NGOs and the research community to raise awareness of the need for action and encourage people to work together.
