The Global Food Security (GFS) programme’s Food Futures Panel has published 10 reports on its activity so far.
The reports cover individual panel discussions, such as on food systems and understanding consumer priorities for food innovation, to a final evaluation of the panel itself.
Read the GFS blog post ‘Introducing the Global Food Security programme’s Public Panel’ for an easily digestible guide to the panel’s establishment and work.
The Food Futures Panel is a novel project that was created to provide the GFS Programme and its individual partners with a short term (one year in the first instance, from April 2015 to Mach 2016), agile and flexible mechanism for exploring food security related topics with members of the public. The project was commissioned by BBSRC on behalf of GFS and secured support from Sciencewise.
The Food Futures panel was a closed panel, composed of a diverse membership of approximately 600 members recruited from across six UK locations (Belfast, Cardiff, Dundee, Harrogate, London and Plymouth) according to a sampling strategy.
The reports from the project are available to read below:
