AgriFood Futures – the new research strategy for the University of Reading

Agrifood Futures is the new, ambitious research strategy that builds on the University of Reading’s reputation for research excellence and work with global partners.

National and global challenges in our food system include climate-driven disruption of food production, rising levels of malnutrition and hunger, and the degradation of natural resources. The University of Reading is well-placed to drive change thanks to its deep expertise across the food system.

The three priority areas are:

• A resilient food system for everyone – Creating an adaptable food system that meets our needs in the face of shocks and stresses
• Farming systems that work with nature and our climate – Leading innovation in responsible food production while protecting and enriching our natural resources
• Food that nourishes people and the planet – Transforming our global food system to deliver desirable, healthy and sustainable food for everyone

Our vision is that everyone across the world is able to consume a sufficient, healthy, sustainable diet that leaves the lightest possible footprint on the planet. Agrifood Futures will unlock innovation and drive the transformation needed to create an equitable, resilient and sustainable global food system for 2050.
