The world on a plate: reducing the food chain's role in greenhouse gas emissions

The Food Climate Research Network is a UK research council-funded initiative. It works to research & promote ways of achieving absolute reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the whole UK food chain.

See here for more.

See here for a presentation which sets out what we know about food and its contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, the options for emissions reduction, what is being done to tackle the problem, and the work of the FCRN.

This series interviews members of the FCRN representing diverse sectors – research institutions, NGOs, the food industry and policy makers. Together the embody a great breadth of technological, behavioural, economic, commercial and policy expertise. We reflect their different takes on the food climate challenge, ask how their work tries to address food-related GHG emissions; what they see as the big challenges; and what sort of help they might welcome from others.

NB THE FCRN IS NOT ALIGNED WITH ANY SECTOR OR GROUP. INCLUSION IN THE SERIES DOES NOT IN ANY WAY IMPLY ENDORSEMENT BY THE FCRN.

FCRN is funded by a three year grant from the EPSRC and is based at the University of Surrey's Centre for Environmental Strategy.
