Work Packages

The Project Poster, initially created for the TUKFS Annual Meeting in November 2023, explains the project structure, which also details the Work Package Flow.

The objectives will be achieved through a set of 5 Work Packages (WPs).

WP 1 & 2 will use economic modelling approaches to assess the changes in the consumption, production and trade of agricultural commodities and food products in the UK associated with a transition to Healthy and Sustainable Diets (HSD). We will also assess how consumer food baskets will respond to fiscal interventions in terms of their healthfulness and environmental sustainability parameters.

WP 3 will examine a range of trade policy interventions and domestic regulations that can support the changes in UK trade patterns (estimated in WP2) from a legal perspective.

WP 4 will undertake intensive engagement with selected agricultural commodity supply chain actors to examine the structural changes to the supply chain to support consumers, manufacturers and importers for the dietary transition.

WP 5 will use a co-design and co-creation approach to suggest industry-led initiatives to that can support the transition to Healthy and Sustainable Diets (HSD) and assess the consumer response to such industry-led initiatives and supply chain innovations identified in WP 4.
