Resilience of the UK food system in a global context - call now open

NERC as part of The Global Food Security (GFS) programme is pleased to announce that the first call of its new research programme 'Resilience of the UK food system in a global context' is now open.

This programme has been co-designed by the Biotechnology & Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), the Economic & Social Research Council (ESRC), NERC, the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra), the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and the Scottish Government. The research councils are contributing £14m over five years to support interdisciplinary research to address this major food security challenge. The programme will fund high quality research projects which integrate science areas from all of the research councils.
