IKnowFood: Integrating Knowledge for Food Systems Resilience
Lead Research Organisation:
University of York
Department Name: The York Management School
Abstract
In this project we will support individuals and organisations across the food system to develop their knowledge of resilience. Producers, processors, manufacturers, retailers, policy makers and consumers will all have to change their practices and behaviours if we are to achieve a more resilient food system. Yet both trade-offs and tensions between these actors can easily arise. For example, forms of farming that can better withstand extreme weather events do not necessarily support the health and wellbeing of consumers, and may struggle to supply the volumes or quality standards demanded by robust global supply chains. To start to unpick this complexity, we will investigate the nature of resilience and how it can be promoted in three components of the food system: on farm; in the supply chain; and among consumers.
We will employ information technology to secure access to data that enables actors across the food system to gain the knowledge required to respond and adapt to emerging socio-economic and environmental change. Importantly, we will also go further, and look to develop a unifying understanding of 'food system resilience', complemented by tools and methods that can integrate the knowledge and perspectives of hitherto disparate food system actors. Through integrating knowledge, our aim is to remove some of the significant disconnects between various actors in the food system.
In three areas of focus, we will:
1) Work with farmers, scientists and engineers, to reform processes of technology development so that farmers' existing knowledge of farm resilience, embedded in their understanding of their soils, seeds and breeds, can be supported and expanded through the application of novel, low cost sensor and imaging technologies
2) Work with food processors, distributors and retailers, to undertake an integrated analysis of food commodity supply data and the political economy of production, consumption and trade, to identify contexts in which resilience can be supported within the distribution and supply system
3) Work with consumers through engagement with individuals and with population data, to better understand the drivers of consumer choice within and between socioeconomic groups, and the consequences for public health resilience.
By better understanding resilience in these three areas, we will develop decision support tools that draw on data from across the food system to identify and encourage complementarities - and minimise conflicts - between the choices and actions taken by different actors in the food system. To achieve this, we will translate existing agricultural sensors and engineering technology platforms to address the specific needs for the 'right data at the right time, in the right location and at the right cost', to reduce vulnerability increase resilience across the food system. In particular, we will:
1) Deepen understanding of the food system and how stakeholders differ in their ability to respond to crises and stresses within international food supply chains
2) Investigate how structures, institutions and information can support individuals, communities and organisations to think and act in response to different types of change that emerge within the complexity of the global food system
3) Explore how new forms of data, mobile technologies, institutional models and incentive frameworks can shape information flows and behaviour, enabling researchers, technologists and food system stakeholder resolve and respond in a timely fashion to pressures facing food consumption, production and trade
4) Provide a new model of food system resilience that sets an agenda for future interdisciplinary research and defines policy objectives for a resilient UK food system.

Technical Summary
Systems of food production, trade and consumption are increasingly vulnerable to interconnected political, economic and ecological shocks associated with climate, environmental and ecosystem changes, shifts in farming practices and consumer lifestyles, and globalisation. In this project, we use the concept of resilience to investigate the sources of these vulnerabilities and to produce datasets, information resources, engagement approaches and business tools that will assist stakeholders in developing mitigation and adaptation strategies. Although the concept of resilience is used widely in current academic and policy fields, these usages have generally failed to shine light on food system complexity and the borderless, multi-stakeholder and cross-scale challenges that arise within it. We understand this complexity in terms of the structures, institutions and information that connect or divide food system stakeholders, and define the opportunities and constraints that they experience. Specifically, in the project we explore resilience on farm; in the supply chain; and among consumers, in order to: (1) deepen understanding of the food system and how stakeholders differ in their ability to respond to crises and stresses within global food supply chains; (2) investigate how structures, institutions and information can support individuals, communities and organisations to think and act in response to different types of change that emerge within the complexity of the global food system; (3) explore how new forms of data, mobile technologies, institutional models and incentive frameworks can shape information flows and behaviour, enabling researchers, technologists and food system stakeholders to resolve and respond in a timely fashion to pressures facing food consumption, production and trade; and (4) Provide a new model of food system resilience that sets an agenda for future interdisciplinary research and defines policy objectives for a resilient UK food system.
Planned Impact
Our impact objectives will ensure that a new concept of food system resilience, associated barriers to resilience and policy objectives are effectively disseminated to all relevant external groups. We will deliver new and/or improved technology sensor and application technologies, ensure they can be taken up by end users successfully, and ensure learning on co-design in innovation systems for sustainable intensification is disseminated across the agri-technology industry. We will disseminate a decision support toolkit across a range of supply chain actors and ensure information on consumer resilience and food-related health literacy reaches community and public health policy makers. Furthermore the work will demonstrate effective mobile and ubiquitous platform technologies to support consumer decision making, and create user-centred designs that can support consumers. The outputs from this research will have direct relevance to different actors within the food system including; consumers and customers; farmers; retailers, manufacturers, processors, agricultural technologists, national, European and international food policy personnel; public health professionals; environmental agencies and NGOs.
Our methods to engage end-users for maximum impact will leverage an existing collaboration funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) hosted at York, which focuses on interdisciplinary approach to address key global challenges in food production, resilient food supply chains and improved consumer nutrition and behaviour change. This will provide the IKnowFood with access to 8 Knowledge Exchange Fellows working with businesses; databases to identify actors to participate in, disseminate and benefit from this research; and the opportunity to present research outputs at a series of industry engagement events. In addition, our Science Advisory Group will meet annually to advise on the direction of the project, and will enhance the project profile within policy, business and public discourse. One platform for user engagement will be the custom built website created for a general audience but with sections designed to guide different types of visitors to the information and outputs most relevant to them. The website will also provide a platform to link users with related projects and institutions including farmer practitioner networks and the newly funded What Works and Agri-innovation Centres.
We will look to influence the following stakeholders:
Farmers: All 3 Universities have strong links with various farmer networks and the N8 AgriFood Programme has provided a way of synthesising those links for impact on a wider scale. The NFU, CABI, ADAS, LEAF, the Food and Environment Research Agency (FERA) and Innovative Farmers all have strong links with the University of York around food production.
Suppliers and Retailers: York already has links with a number of networks including BURNS (Building Up Resilience in Supply Chains). This network involves producers, processors, logistics experts, manufacturers, retailers, think tanks (Food & Drink Federation), policy makers and NGOs. Plus we will work with the Institute of Grocery Distribution and The British Retail Consortium.
Technology Producers: The University of York's Digital Creativity Hub will ensure learning from information technology co-production will reach large scale technology companies like IBM and Google which have long-term strategic memorandums of understanding with York.
Agricultural technologists: The University of Manchester has strong links with agricultural technologists who will play a key role in the sensor and application technology developments.
Consumers: both York and Liverpool have direct links to designated consumer cohorts which will be used to disseminate key tools and findings. Furthermore they have strong links to policy groups such as Public Health England, Regional Health and Well-being boards plus Global Health Policy Groups

York Citizen Food Assembly Policy Brief
| Description | Food systems are vulnerable to a range of interacting shocks and stresses. Shocks are abrupt events of differing probability of occurrence and severity of impact, and may even be wholly unimagined. Stresses are longer-term drivers or conditions that are more easily perceived and will influence change either directly or indirectly. 2. Food system outcomes of food security, other social and economic goals, and environmental conditions need to be made more resilient to shocks and stresses. 3. Building food system resilience needs to consider how to deal with complex and uncertain feedbacks and trade-offs across the different food system outcomes, and different perceptions of the desirability of those outcomes between different actors. This requires a pluralist approach and mechanisms to visualize and assess trade-offs across food system actors to achieve given food system outcomes across multiple scales. 4. Answers to a set of framing questions are needed to set a clear boundary for discussions: Resilience of what? Resilience to what? Resilience from whose perspective? Resilience for how long? Answers to each of these questions iteratively inform the others and depend on who is involved in answering them, and on whose behalf. 5. Most policy, practice, and societal discussions focus on enhancing resilience of the food system outcomes (i.e., food security, other socioeconomic goals, and environmental conditions). Emphasis is usually placed on either robustness (preventing the outcomes from changing) or recovery (returning to the original outcomes after a shock). A third concept, reorientation, involves food system actors and other stakeholders accepting alternative food system outcomes before or after disruption, but this will require negotiating tradeoffs between outcomes and between different food system actors. 6. Irrespective of whether food system actors and other stakeholders agree on a robustness, recovery, or reorientation strategy, enhancing resilience of food system outcomes will require food system actors adapting their activities. Activities do not change spontaneously but in response to an opportunity or a threat. Adapting food system activities either marginally or substantially will transform the food system outcomes either marginally or substantially. 7. Encouraging actors to change their activities requires changing the policy, economic, social, and/or technological drivers that influence how different food system actors undertake their respective activities. |
| Exploitation Route | Although the need for building resilient food systems was brought to the attention of the wider public by the disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic, policymakers and academics have been worried about the various vulnerabilities inherent in our complex food systems for many years. Recent decades have seen different disciplines including ecology, psychology, and engineering developing resilience framings. Our review of how these have more recently been applied and further developed for food systems placed them in a context of actors and their activities, the drivers that influence the actors' activities, and hence the outcomes of these activities. We found that considering what resilience means in this food system context first requires setting clear boundaries by answering four framing questions: resilience of what, to what, from whose perspective, and over what time frame. It then requires clarifying which type of resilience strategies food system actors aim for: robustness, recovery, or reorientation (the 3 Rs). Each of these strategies entails actors adapting their activities. Multiple questions, however, remain as to what these adaptations mean for overall food systems resilience, for other food system actors, and how to asses resilience levels. It is also unclear how individual actors' actions contribute to overall food system resilience, or if food systems resilience is an emergent property varying on the basis of the shape and structure of the system. A further consideration is how food system resilience and sustainability interact. These are different concepts and will require different actions to manage potential trade-offs between food system outcomes. This points to the need to assess the degree to which resilience and sustainability aims can be mutually compatible, as indicated by our reorientation strategy. Key issues to consider are 526 Zurek et al. Annu. Rev. Environ. Resour. 2022.47:511-534. Downloaded from www.annualreviews.org Access provided by University of York on 03/14/23. See copyright for approved use. who decides on what strategies to pursue, how to shape agenda setting, and the different levels of power food system actors have to shape the system. Food system actors and other stakeholders will also need to agree on a set of variables to monitor to determine if resilience is being enhanced. Progress on all of these issues is urgently needed if we are to better mitigate further food system shocks and stresses, which are likely to hurt society's most vulnerable first. Such progress will require cooperation, coordination, and negotiation among the various food system actors so they adapt their activities to transform the health, environmental, social, and economic outcomes where suboptimal. This needs to be based on a better understanding of the dynamic complex interactions between food system drivers, actors, activities, and outcomes to help identify interventions that hold the best potential for enhancing food system resilience. |

| Title | A practical approach to measuring the biodiversity impacts of land conversion |
| Description | 1. Further progress in reducing biodiversity loss relies on the improved quantification of the connections between drivers of habitat loss and subsequent biodiversity impacts. To this end, biodiversity impact metrics should be able to report linked trends in specific human activities and changes in biodiversity state, accounting for both the ecology of different species, and the cumulative effects of historical habitat losses. These characteristics are not currently captured within a single metric. 2. Here we develop a globally applicable methodological framework that uses freely and publicly available datasets to quantify the relative impacts of anthropogenic activities on biodiversity. We use species-specific habitat suitability models to link specific land uses to ensuing changes in the likelihood that local populations of those species will persist. To illustrate our approach we assess the impacts of soy expansion and other land uses within the Brazilian Cerrado on over 2,000 species of amphibians, birds, mammals and plants for three periods between 2000 and 2014. 3. Our results showed that mammals and plants suffered the greatest overall reduction of suitable habitat. However, among endemic and near-endemic species - which face greatest risk of global extinction from habitat conversion in the Cerrado - birds and mammals were the most affected groups. While conversion of natural vegetation to grassland and planted pastures were together responsible for most of the biodiversity impact of recent changes, soy expansion (via direct conversion of natural vegetation) had the greatest impact per unit area. The total biodiversity impact of recent land-use change was concentrated in the southern states of the Cerrado -Minas Geráis, Goiás and Mato Grosso - but the impact on biodiversity of production of soy was greatest within the agricultural frontiers of Bahía and Piauí. 4. The flexibility of our approach to examine linkages between biodiversity loss and specific human activities has clear potential to better characterise the pathways by which habitat loss drivers operate. Its capacity to incorporate species-specific ecological needs, through a globally applicable methodology, can improve the tangibility of biodiversity loss assessments. |

Dr Power is the chair of the organisation and has been working towards increasing understanding about food poverty in York - its causes, impacts and interrelationships; raising awareness about work already underway in the city; enhancing coordination between agencies to shape effective future working; and providing a collaborative shared platform for knowledge exchange, skills and resources. Dr Power has also been pivotal to raising city aspirations around the eradication of food poverty by bringing new thought leadership and good practice to the city's food poverty agenda with an emphasis on reducing food poverty in long-term sustainable ways. Dr Power has been central to setting up and carrying out an *anonymous* survey of people with primary-age children on about food experiences, access and affordability (N=600). She has co-produced qualitative primary research (focus groups [N=31]) with food aid providers to better understand the experiences of food affordability and approaches to managing household food supply on a low income. She has also led a project using innovative, media methodologies to gain an in depth understanding of the lived experience of food insecurity amongst low income parents. In addition, she has spearheaded a successful programme of food and activity (holiday hunger) clubs in the school holidays, now a regular feature out of term time in York. This programme has been subject to ongoing evaluation, the results of which will be published in due course. She has been regular interviewee on BBC Radio York, spreading the word about the work of York Food Poverty Alliance. |

Dr Power is the chair of the organisation and has been working towards increasing understanding about food poverty in York - its causes, impacts and interrelationships; raising awareness about work already underway in the city; enhancing coordination between agencies to shape effective future working; and providing a collaborative shared platform for knowledge exchange, skills and resources. Dr Power has also been pivotal to raising city aspirations around the eradication of food poverty by bringing new thought leadership and good practice to the city's food poverty agenda with an emphasis on reducing food poverty in long-term sustainable ways.

She has co-produced qualitative primary research (focus groups [N=31]) with food aid providers to better understand the experiences of food affordability and approaches to managing household food supply on a low income. She has also led a project using innovative, media methodologies to gain an in depth understanding of the lived experience of food insecurity amongst low income parents. In addition, she has spearheaded a successful programme of food and activity (holiday hunger) clubs in the school holidays, now a regular feature out of term time in York. This programme has been subject to ongoing evaluation, the results of which will be published in due course. She has been regular interviewee on BBC Radio York, spreading the word about the work of York Food Poverty Alliance. |

| Description | iPES Food Collaboration |
| Organisation | International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems |
| Country | Belgium |
| Sector | Charity/Non Profit |
| PI Contribution | IKnowFood's PI Doherty and Co-I West was invited by the European Economic and Social Committee and Olivier De Schutter, former UN Special Rapporteur and co-chair of the International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems (IPESFood), to a roundtable discussion on the 'TradeDevelopmentEnvironment' nexus on May 2nd (25pm) in Brussels. The roundtable meeting brought together 2530 participants, including members of the various EU institutions, scientific experts, civil society groups and representatives of the food and farming industries.It was clear from the meeting there was a real aim to link future agriculture and food policy to the Sustainable Development Goals. In addition the meeting concluded there a real need for future policies to take a holistic/systemic approach to food systems which is integrated, coherent and interdisciplinary otherwise transformation is not possible. The meeting also argued that currently there is too much of a silo approach in policy and research and more co-design with users was required. This clearly maps very well onto the IKnowFood Research Agenda. IKnowFood PI Doherty and Co-I Heron also attended FOOD 2030: Research and Innovation for Tomorrow's Nutrition and Food Systems Conference in Brussels, on 16 October. They will also attend a major multi-stakeholder event, the 'EU Food and Farming Forum' in Brussels on 29 - 30 May 2018. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Building on the Policy Labs and representing the culmination of the Common Food Policy process, the Forum will see around 200 participants from various constituencies come together to co-construct a 'Sustainable Food Scoreboard', i.e. a multi- year vision for reforming European food and farming systems that promotes transitional thinking and the alignment of different policies at different levels of governance. Taking place symbolically one year before the 2019 EU elections, the Forum will yield concrete proposals to be taken up by political parties, campaign groups and ultimately by the EU institutions. |
| Impact | In the coming weeks and months, IPES-Food will also be publishing Policy Briefs based on the Policy Labs, and will be engaging in 'Local Labs' around Europe. |

Which looks at the fall in cocoa prices and how by partnering with Fairtrade, Coop is addressing the issues of an unsustainable cocoa industry. Coop also hopes to push other businesses to do the same.The original Fairtrade Sourcing Program, introduced by Fairtrade International, was firmly developed for chocolate brands to enable certified farmers to sell more of their cocoa to them on Fairtrade terms. The program model did not account for the complexity of dealing with a significant number of very different manufacturing sites across a wide supplier base, and a vast number of products ranging from bakery to ice cream to cooking sauces, all requiring various types and differing quantities of cocoa. Co-op and Fairtrade have now created a solution for all food retailers to follow. |

| Results and Impact | Event was titled; Food Supply Chains and Production - Global Outlook with a Local Strategy: What has Covid-19 Taught us? Covid-19 hit all sectors of life and was met with panic buying and empty supermarket shelves. However, it wasn' t luxury items that the general public rushed to get their hands on but the essentials like food. For many years the FUW has stressed that food security is an issue that needs desperate attention and the last few months have served to illustrate such concerns. The impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Welsh food producers and the dangers of trade and rural support policies which undermine UK food security have now starkly come to the fore. The measures put in place by the UK Government to prevent coronavirus transmission caused a seismic shift in how UK and EU supply chains function and has seen drastic falls in farmgate prices across agricultural sectors. In this seminar we explore the lessons that the pandemic has taught us, discuss what measures need to be put in place to safeguard food producers and consumers and examine if local strategies with a global outlook are the key to food security. |
