The UK Food Systems in 2050: Trends, Roadmaps, and Future Research Needs
Since mid-2019 the UK has legally committed itself to be one of the first countries to reach Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. We are less than three decades from that deadline, and a multiplicity of strategies and pathways, emerging constantly, is adding further complexity to urgent decision-making. At the STFC Food Network+ (SFN+) , we aim to contribute to reaching such an ambitious goal, by providing agri-food researchers and stakeholders with a plural and diverse forum to re-imagine and redesign the UK food system for it to be Net Zero. This report is based on the April 28th, 2022, online panel discussion and participatory workshop entitled ‘The UK Food Systems in 2050: Trends, Roadmaps, and Future Research Need’ as well as on followup consultations with UK food system stakeholders. Hence, it constitutes a piece of collective thinking from researchers and stakeholders already working towards the decarbonisation of the UK food system
