The Quadram Institute and the Internet of Food Things Network Plus have organised this strategic workshop addressing the interplay of data-driven science and innovation in the food system. In other words, how can the kinds of interdisciplinary activities that the Internet of Food Things Network (IoFT) and the Quadram Institute do be applied to UKRI research topics in order to address government food strategy goals as well as broader sustainability goals.

This event should help set the scene and establish the kind of strategic thinking needed.

The aim of the event is to:

  • Establish a better understanding of government policy and wider societal needs for the food/health system,
  • Initiate more collaborative thinking across disciplines and between institutions to prepare approaches to addressing these opportunities,
  • Share this thinking with representatives from various policy and regulatory bodies: Defra, FSA, UKRI, OAI, Innovate UK etc
