Welcome to the STFC Food Network +
|
The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) Food Network+ (SFN) brings together STFC researchers and facilities with research and industry in the agri-food sector. The SFN is building an interdisciplinary community working to provide a sustainable, secure supply of safe, nutritious, and affordable high-quality food using less land, with reduced inputs, and in the context of global climate change and declining natural resources. The SFN is highlighting and developing key opportunities for the STFC community to make a meaningful contribution to the food system - from sustainable intensification, through building resilience in supply chains to novel technologies to engage consumers and help change behaviour and improve nutrition.

New Blog Post
We are delighted to have engaged agrifood researcher Caroline Wood to work on a series of blog posts for us. Caroline’s first post is focusing on the interdisciplinary work that our Open University colleague Taff Morgan has been working on and discussing how he has made new connections through the SFN. Many thanks to Caroline and Taff! Read all about it here. Sandpit Survey Thanks to all of you that responded to our survey to help us decide the topic(s) and dates for the second STFC Food Network+ Sandpit event. We are now going through the responses and will update once we have confirmed further details. We now have a twitter account: https://twitter.com/TechFoodNetwork Please do follow us to find up to the minute information on our network activities |
What success means to us:
For us, a successful SFN would have instigated multiple new projects between STFC research and facilities and food research and industry, that would not have happened without the SFN. We would like the seed funding provided by the SFN to enable these projects to become self-sustaining beyond the SFN. We want the SFN to have built cross disciplinary communities who understand the skill sets and challenges facing each other, and which engage to solve agri-food problems.
