‘Healthy soil, Healthy food and Healthy people’

World-class researchers from Sheffield, Leeds, Bristol, Cambridge, Newcastle and City Universities working in partnership with stakeholders, seek to transform the UK food system ‘from the ground up’ via an integrated programme of interdisciplinary research on ‘Healthy soil, Healthy food and Healthy people’ (H3). 

The H3 Consortium addresses the links between food production and consumption and takes an interdisciplinary approach. It will identify workable paths towards transformed UK food systems, delivered via a series of interventions: on farm, in food manufacturing, distribution and retail, and in terms of the health implications and inequalities associated with food consumption in UK homes and communities.
