This #FoodWasteActionWeek, it has been really interesting to read and hear about the range of research on food surplus and waste happening across @UniversityLeeds Check out @GlobalFoodLeeds for more on this.

Our new blog focuses on sustainable surplus food redistribution (SFR) in the UK. The blog explores the findings of the FAMISHED project & the recommendation that robust policy agenda is needed to sustain the future of SFR in the UK. #FoodWasteActionWeek medium.com/globalfoodleed…

Our first El Nino brief is now live on our @fosta_health project website. Building from our analysis of drivers of drought in Malawi rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jo… we analyse this year's rainfall season to date & the impacts being faced in southern Malawi.

#ElNiño has hit #Malawi with extreme levels of rainfall up north (blue bits in the map below), & one of its longest, driest droughts down south. Crops have failed & food supply suffered from this double-blow. A meteorological analysis by @Manuel_Ricco➡️ tinyurl.com/munaewry



For me, this week has been @UniversityLeeds life at its best. I've loved seeing and discussing interdisciplinary food systems research, education, facilities and partnerships with cross-faculty and international colleagues. It's what @GlobalFoodLeeds is all about.
