Future diets and health: how will environmental changes affect food availability, food consumption and health (360G-Wellcome-106924_Z_15_Z)

This project aims to answer the primary research question: Will the projected impacts of environmental changes on terrestrial food production and food quality have a demonstrable influence on nutrition and health outcomes over the next 20-30 years? The project will establish an interdisciplinary approach encompassing environmental, agricultural, nutrition, health, mathematical and social sciences to enable the mapping and quantification of the multiple pathways between environmental change and population-level food availability, food quality, dietary intake, nutrition and health outcomes over the coming decades. By taking a broad, interdisciplinary analytical approach, and applying it to country case studies, this project aims to test whether current projections of changes in agricultural production, food availability and food quality are likely to result in quantifiable impacts on nutrition and health outcomes. Key goals: 1. Define an evidence-based analytical framework linking environmental change with nutrition and health outcomes. 2. Apply the framework to three countries (UK, Mexico and Ethiopia) to identify critical nodes where policy-level action may influence nutrition and health. 3. Establish a method and analytical baseline for future modelling and scenario testing and make an inter-sectoral dataset on agriculture, food prices, nutrition and health available for public use.
