About me

I'm an independent researcher, writer and consultant. Experienced in making better policies for our food systems. My research focuses on the intersection of food, the environment and human health. I've directed and managed studies for UK, EU and international organisations covering issues not only from ‘farm to fork’, but from ‘lab to fork’, particularly the role of science and technology in transforming the food chain. I'm a trustee of the Food Ethics Council. I was formerly Director of the Innovation, Health and Science Group at RAND Europe; prior to that I led the food chain policy team within the Climate, Environment and Food practice at ICF International.
