How do we work with Researchers?

We are committed to providing parliamentarians and policymakers with robust data and evidence so they can gain insights into the challenges facing the food system and generate the most appropriate policy responses.   

As well as conducting our own research, we work closely with researchers and academics in organisations and universities around the UK.
