Food shapes our health, environment, and economy—yet the UK food system currently drives illness + environmental harm. It doesn’t have to. CUSP researchers helped identify 27 practical actions to make food fairer, greener, and more resilient. → cusp.ac.uk/themes/food/... #TUKFS

...They need assurances on health, sustainability, safety, reliability and scalability of urban food growing, plus, importantly, PRICE! Stakeholder next steps: clarify labelling, provide assurances, shout about the benefits. #spffoodsystems #urbanfoodgrowing #tukfs #consumeracceptance #foodsystems
Urban-grown food - fruits and veg grown in urban areas - could bring health and sustainability benefits, but will UK consumers and stakeholders accept it? And what would stop them? Our data shows mixed, but potential and promising perceptions. #spffoodsystems #urbanagriculture #tukfs ...
📣New publication! Consumer and stakeholder acceptance of urban-grown food. My new food.gov FSA report is published today: science.food.gov.uk/article/1375.... I've also written about it for the #spffoodsystems #tukfs blog ukfoodsystems.ukri.org/2025/06/30/u...

How can public institutions use their purchasing power to back British farmers & local food systems? 🌱 In this @naturefood.bsky.social comment, we argue that strategic procurement is key—but it needs clear targets & investment. 🏛️🍽️ 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s43... #TUKFS #FoodSecurity

Still 'basking' from success of winning #best #poster award #foodsequal #PlymouthFishFinger 🐟 journey at #TUKFS event #York @FixOurFoodteam earlier in the week 😍
Full credit goes to the amazing Paridhi Garg who exerted her #design #skills for the poster 😍🙏👌
A pleasure & privilege to co-facilitate #creative #methods #workshop at #TUKFS York #FixOurFood event today. With amazing creative gurus @hannahgardiner.bsky.social & LisaHoward ❤️🎨
Excellent #engagement & #outputs produced 👌💪 #drawing #zinemaking #discussions #evaluation @UKRI_News
Great to present this poster based on co-created research w/ #FoodSEqual at #TUKFS
It describes how the 'process' of delivering participatory #FoodSystems #Research can in itself contribute to #FoodSystemTransformation.
This includes developing #FoodCitizenship & conditions for #FoodDemocracy
Enjoyed running a zine making session w/ @drcpettingerrd.bsky.social today at #TUKFS conference.
We explored how #CreativeMethods can support our #FoodSystems #Research
We found selecting images supports us to gain new insights & to refine our ideas & how to communicate them

Day 2 #TUKFS
#foodsystems #climate #resilience
We need to recognise food as a crucial national infrastructure, & plan the resilience accordingly.
This includes bringing defence back into #food planning for #FoodSecurity & #Resilience
A great talk by Tim Lang closing the 1st day of the UK #FoodSystems conference
#TUKFS
Great to be attending #TUKFS annual conference 2025, hosted by @FixOurFoodteam at the Uni of York! Excellent keynote speech by Henry Dimbleby on shaping policies to transform the UK food system!
Will diet drugs work?
Will science prove wider harms from ultra-processed foods beyond over eating?
@henrydimbleby.bsky.social outlines four scenarios that might unfold depending on the answers at #TUKFS conference
Will #UPFs be the new tobacco?
Will we medicate the issue with #diet drugs?
Or...
The other two unknowns, mapped out in this slide: harms from UPFs, effectiveness and penetration of appetite suppressants- according to @henrydimbleby.bsky.social at #TUKFS meeting in York
One of 3 big unknowns in food system: the role of big data and AI ‘AI and big data is to food system like calculus to physics’ - Henry Dimbleby at #TUKFS meeting #fixourfood @yesiuoy.bsky.social
Brilliant morning trying out #Climate & #FoodSystems #boardgames at The UK Food Systems Conferece #TUKFS
Discovered soy milk is double the emissions of oat & cow milk is double again!
And having pepperoni on your pizza instead of mushrooms is more than 20x the emissions....
'What does systems transformation mean?'...the big Q we are grappling with in #foodsystems! Incl in @ukri.org #TUKFS #SPFfoodsystems
