The projects have researched a wide range of foods and food groups. Some have covered larger segments of the food system (eg, fruit and veg), while others have looked at specific products (eg, honey). Many foods (eg, fish, wheat) have been researched in multiple projects.
The projects have researched a wide range of issues in the food system, from modelling international trade to indigenous knowledge, drought to hydroponics, waste to crop yields).
The projects funded by the network have been small-scale. Those that have shown promise, or where the project team have developed collaborative skills, have been able to secure funding for further research. The figure quoted here is undoubtedly an underestimate, and only includes the funding we know of.
Projects have taken place in countries around the world, particularly in Europe, Africa and Asia.
Members work across the globe, in Europe, Asia, Oceania, Africa and North and South America. Through the network, they have access to funding and networking opportunities, and the chance to meet and collaborate with colleagues.
