GLOBAL FOOD SECURITY PROGRAMME

The UK’s main public funders of food-related research are working together
through the Global Food Security programme to meet the challenge of providing
the world’s growing population with access to safe, affordable and nutritious
food, all of the time and in ways the planet can sustain into the future.

SPEAK UP FOR FOOD SECURITY – FIVE STORIES FOR CHANGE

 * Date: July 2021

The winner for GFS’s 2021 research storytelling competition, Speak UP for Food
Security – Five Stories for Change, has been announced. In honour of the UK
hosting COP26, this year’s competition aimed to equip UKRI early career
researchers with the knowledge and skills to not only inform climate action in
the food system, but to inspire it as well.

COVID-19 AND THE UK FOOD SYSTEM: LEARNING LESSONS AND BUILDING BACK BETTER

 * Date: 11 November 2022

New report, produced as part of the ‘Transforming UK Food Systems SPF Programme’
to explore the impact of Covid-19 across the UK food system, including food
system resilience, lessons learnt and building back better.

Latest blog post




THE FOOD SYSTEM IS A VITAL PART OF THE CLIMATE SOLUTION

 * Date: 17 November 2022
 * Author(s): Jack Blowers

The UN recently stated that it finds ‘no credible pathway to 1.5C in place’ with
current global commitments to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. In
anticipation of the conclusion of COP27, here is a recap from the UN’s
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, released in April 2022.
This looks at possible solutions and mitigation strategies in response to the
changing climate, including what role the food system can play in our fight
against climate change.

Case Study




ENSURING FUTURE FOOD SECURITY IN THE FACE OF CLIMATE CHANGE

 * Date: 19 June 2017

The risk of extreme weather hitting several major food producing regions of the
world at the same time could triple by 2040. This was the major finding from a
GFS report on extreme weather and the food system, which was presented at the
AAAS meeting and at the US Senate.



Case Study




STRATEGIC APPROACH TO SOIL SCIENCE

 * Date: 19 June 2017

GFS has catalysed a strategic approach to soil science which has helped
galvanise investment in research and training. UK soils are worth £5.3 billion
to our economy – 2.2 million tonnes of topsoil is lost each year in the UK
costing farmers £9 million.



Case Study




PROTECTING ANIMAL AND HUMAN HEALTH IN EMERGING LIVESTOCK SYSTEMS

 * Date: 19 June 2017

GFS has helped facilitate an £18.5 million multidisciplinary research initiative
to help protect animal and human health in the face of emerging livestock
farming systems. Meat demand is predicted to rise by 40% in 2030 and there are
significant risks to health associated with the rapidly changing nature of
livestock farming systems to meet demand: 60% of human pathogens and 75% of
emerging diseases are zoonotic.

RESILIENCE OF THE UK FOOD SYSTEM IN A GLOBAL CONTEXT (GFS-FSR)

GFS has launched a major interdisciplinary research programme to help
policymakers and practitioners optimise the resilience of the UK’s food system
to environmental, biological, economic, social and geopolitical shocks.

THE FOOD SECURITY CHALLENGE



The global food system is under pressure. Over the next 35 years, the growing
global population will demand more food than has ever been produced in human
history!
