New article in the launch issue of Nature Food
A comment piece in the newly launched Nature Food journal puts the IFSTAL approach to creating food-system thinkers in the spotlight.
The piece, authored collaboratively by members of the IFSTAL team, including Rosemary Collier from Warwick's School of Life Sciences, sets out the case for a systems approach to challenges in the food system and highlights the aspirations of the programme.
IFSTAL’s successes to date – including the engagement of 1,500 students from 45 different university departments as well as the programme’s well established overseas activity – are also laid out.
The article, A future workforce of food-system analysts, is available to read on the Nature Food website.
