Global Food and Environment Institute

The Global Food and Environment Institute (GFEI), at the University of Leeds, is an interdisciplinary research community bringing together a diverse membership from across academia, industry and public policy.

We envisage a radically different global food system that works with nature and provides everybody with access to safe and nutritious food.

Our aim is to develop enduring solutions that facilitate transformative change to create a food system that is socially just, climate-smart and goes beyond sustainability; a food system that can adapt vigorously to enhance the future habitability of Earth.

We encourage disruptive thinking and foster collaboration. Through our education, networking, advocacy, and events programmes, we work with our influential partners worldwide to challenge assumptions and break new ground.
