What is health? How do we define sustainability? Integrated measurement and modelling combines existing methodologies and datasets to create a holistic methodology for measuring performance, and to set improvement targets for sustainable production and healthier and more-sustainable diets.

Research scope

• Combine existing methodologies and datasets into a holistic methodology to measure performance and set improvement targets for:
  • Sustainable production.
  • Reducing the gap between existing diets and diets optimised for health and sustainability.
• Develop models to apply this holistic methodology.
  • To production areas (across all relevant agricultural sectors in that area).
  • To supply chains (across a number of different sourcing markets).
  • To consumer markets (across all major food categories in that market).
• Methodology development.
• Applying big-data analysis, together with complexity science, to formulate cross-domain models based on correlational, structural networks at different scales.
