The UKFS-CDT aims to develop the next generation of food system change makers for a healthy and sustainable food future.
From 2021 to 2027, the UKFS-CDT will train over 60 interdisciplinary doctoral researchers capable of leading the UK towards a resilient, healthy and inclusive food future, with the first cohort starting in autumn of 2021.
