This project is funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).
It's core aim is to provide citizens of socio-culturally diverse disadvantaged communities with choice over the food they consume, by co-developing new products, new supply chains and new policy frameworks that will deliver an affordable, attractive, healthy and sustainable diet. For this research project, 'disadvantaged communities' refers to people who live in food poverty and/or are food insecure.
