Additional funding for AFN’s EDI work

The AFN Network+ team has recently won another grant from BBSRC to drive forward best practices on EDI within research networks. This work will be led by Angelina Sanderson Bellamy and Sophie Constant. The project is called Elevate: Elevating marginalised voices through EDI codesign, and will run for the next 12 months to look at best practices on EDI within the AFN Network+ and embedding those practices within other research networks, as well as the wider food and farming sector. They will work with Sustain, Eating Better, The Equal Group and Inclusive Farm to deliver project activities, including a Symposium on anti-racism in food and farming in June 2025, aiming for 150 participants.
