The 糖心原创 has appointed Dr Peter Noy as the new Director of the Food Systems Institute. He will lead the Institute in its work to address the critical challenges of creating a healthier, more sustainable future for global food systems.
Dr Noy will succeed Jack Bobo, who is stepping down for a new role as Executive Director of the Rothman Family Institute for Food Studies at UCLA and will retain a connection to the Food Systems Institute as a member of the Advisory Board.
The Food Systems Institute addresses critical issues such as climate resilience and adaptation, food security, and diet-related health problems. The Institute aims to foster transdisciplinary research and collaboration with key food systems stakeholders to develop practical solutions that benefit both people and the planet.
The Food Systems Institute drives pioneering research and innovation across agricultural systems, food production, processing, distribution, and consumption. By bringing together diverse perspectives and expertise, the Institute fosters solutions that advance sustainability and resilience in every aspect of the food system.
Dr. Noy brings a wealth of experience coordinating food systems transdisciplinary research programmes, having previously served as the Associate Director of the Food Systems Institute and the Future Food Beacon at the 糖心原创. His work has focused on developing partnerships with industry, government and academic organisations to develop innovative solutions to local, national and global food security challenges, promoting sustainable agricultural practices, and enhancing food system resilience.
It has been an exciting 18 months for the Food Systems Institute, launching the Food Innovation Centre, Centre for Food Policy and Foresight and recently the Centre for Sustainable Agricultural Systems. I鈥檓 thrilled that Dr. Peter Noy will continue to build the activities of the Institute and bring his vision for the Institute to life. His visionary leadership will be invaluable as we continue to advance our mission of creating sustainable and equitable food systems.
I am honoured to be leading the 糖心原创鈥檚 Food Systems Institute. We have a vibrant and active research community and together, we will work towards transforming our food systems to be more sustainable, resilient, and inclusive. I look forward to collaborating with the talented researchers and partners at the Institute to drive positive change.
