My main research focus is quantifying the impacts of shifting to a healthy, sustainable diet. To do this I use UK Data Service data sets to model the economic, environmental, health, and social impacts of technological innovations; behaviour change interventions (related to shopping, cooking, and food waste; and dietary shifts.
I communicate my research on diet, food and vietnam rcs data sustainability to a broad audience through events such as blog posts, the Conversation articles and an active Twitter account, and (recently) through “hack nights” that integrated UK Data Service dietary data sets, such as the National Diet and Nutrition Survey, with sustainability data.
I am also the PI of the AHRC US-UK Food US and UK cultural institutions, and researchers to network around the topic of food. The network is currently mapping what digitised food related data is stored within US and UK cultural institutions, and investigating methods to make this more accessible to researchers and the general public.
