The UK Food Systems Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) focused on developing the next generation of interdisciplinary food systems thinkers. It is funded by @UK-research-innovation Transforming the UK Food System for Healthy People and a Healthy Environment SPF Programme (https://www.foodsecurity.ac.uk/research/foodsystems-spf/.) The CDT will train over 60 researchers to become future food systems leaders and innovators, and will include an open Food Systems Academy, a dynamic learning network which brings together doctoral researchers, their supervisors, and government, business and civil society organisations to co-design doctoral projects and to co-create and disseminate new knowledge with lasting impact. Consortium partners include: the Natural Resources Institute of the University of Greenwich, University College London, Royal Veterinary College, Institute of Biological, Environmental & Rural Sciences at Aberystwyth University, Centre for Food Policy at City University, University of Sussex, and Brunel University London; and two leading agricultural research institutes, NIAB EMR and Rothamsted Research, plus over 50 partners from business, government and civil society.
