"We are very pleased that our Natural Resources Institute is playing an important part in this critical area of research, and we look forward to welcoming the successful doctoral students here at the University of Greenwich."

Professor Jane Harrington, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Greenwich

"The need to transform the UK’s food system is essential as we build back better from the Covid-19 pandemic and try to ensure the health of humans and the environment. It is really exciting that more than 60 future leaders will graduate from the Partnership for Sustainable Food Future – Centre for Doctoral Training (PSFF-CDT). The level of engagement with key partners from across the food system fills me with confidence that those graduating will have a wonderful career ahead of them in which they can contribute to a healthier, sustainable and more prosperous UK food system."
