Agri-Food Network

The Agri-Food Network was launched jointly by Sustain and the Department of Health Management & Food Policy, City University (formerly the Centre for Food Policy) in 2001 to link academics working on food and farm policy with each other and with those NGOs and think tanks which are using and commissioning research to underpin policy advocacy work.

The Network is an informal one and meetings can be coordinated by its members according to who is hosting the meeting.

Co-ordination of the seminars was provided by Sustain but, in autumn 2006 it was agreed that this should now be taken on by City University, with Sustain continuing its links with the Network. Contact: David Barling d.barling@city.ac.uk
