The University of Sheffield Institute for Sustainable Food

The Institute for Sustainable Food (ISF) is a flagship research at the University of Sheffield. It brings together plant production and protection work with social science, public health nutrition perspectives and real-world solutions to the challenge of food security. The Institute for Sustainable Food at the University of Sheffield was launched in 2019. It brings together an interdisciplinary team of experts drawn from across the University. Transforming how we grow, produce and consume food requires innovative systems thinking, and collaborative multidisciplinary research across many fields, including ecology, agriculture, consumption and behaviour change. We have a wealth of experience bringing together research across diverse areas such as plant and soil biology, waste prevention in supply chains, food justice and equity. The Institute for Sustainable Food works closely with partners to find dynamic solutions to the challenges of food security and sustainability. We are known for excellence across a range of disciplines, drawing on research across the fields of science, engineering, social sciences, arts and humanities. We bring together passionate problem-solvers, innovative research, world-class facilities and novel engagement with stakeholders, including the public, to influence policy and practice.
