Research
The Center adopts a systems perspective to its research that takes place within interlinked thematic research focus areas. These focus areas guide the Center’s research initiatives and connect it to food system challenges of societal relevance. The three interlinked thematic research focus areas include Effective Food Value Chains, Appropriate Nutrition for Health, and Sustainable Food Production. Resilience and resource efficiency are core concepts for the Center’s work on food value chains and food production systems. Diversity and safety are underlying principles for our work on food production and appropriate nutrition.
With our work, we contribute directly to eight of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, including Zero Hunger, Sustainable Consumption and Production, and Good Health and Well-Being.
