Led by the University of York and anchoring its research in Yorkshire, there are three strands to FixOurFood: exploring hybrid business models, regenerative farming and sustainable and healthy food for young people. The research aims to inform and influence UK food policy and develop metrics for understanding the food system across the research strands. 

The Food Foundation are a key partner on the “FixOurFood in Schools” element of the sustainable and healthy food for young people programme. With a focus on schools and nurseries in Yorkshire,  the FixOurFood team are working to transform school food menus, environments and procurement, as well as mprove access to Free School Meals. Our aim is to apply these research findings to schools’ policy across the UK and in doing so, improving diet quality, addressing health inequalities and supporting those children who need it most to access nutritious food.
