Transformations to Regenerative Food Systems

Lead Research Organisation: University of York

Department Name: The York Management School

Abstract

Our vision is a transformation of food systems (FS) across the UK towards being 'regenerative'. Our current FS are responsible for major social and environmental impacts, such as poor diets, ill health and major environmental degradation and threaten the long-term wellbeing of people and the planet. Because many aspects of ecological and human health have already passed critical thresholds, new regenerative approaches are needed that go beyond just reducing harm to sustainable levels and instead develop FS that have dynamics that 'spiral up' social, economic and environmental benefit, and for all. This research therefore aims to answer two main questions: (1) What do regenerative systems look like? and (2) How can transformations be enabled so we can get to regenerative FS?
To answer these questions we will work with diverse stakeholders to change the Yorkshire food system and use the learning to inform change efforts in other parts of the UK and beyond. Our work will focus on shifting trajectories towards regenerative dynamics in three inter-related systems of: healthy eating for young children, hybrid food economies and farming. This will enable us to consider not just the food chain (farming to fork) but also its outcomes, such as food security (availability, access and utilisation of food), quality, safety and social welfare, as well as how these aspects interact with social, economic and environmental drivers.
We will use novel approaches that combine different processes of data collection and 'learning by doing' from applying different interventions, while also creatively developing solutions and new ways of thinking about FS. The work will also use innovative thinking that will enable us to keep focus on stimulating transformational kinds of change. This will be delivered using a 'co-creation' approach, with researchers and other professionals working together to bring about change. Our research has already been developed with a range of FS stakeholders from farming, industry, civil society and national and regional government. This process has resulted in a new anchor institutions platform and a 'Leaders for Change' group of young people, both of which will help use drive system change.
Our work will have six main outcomes for Yorkshire and beyond: (1) New visions of regenerative FS; (2) Scalable innovative interventions (e.g. new models of food procurement and environmentally sustainable menus for schools and early years settings; educational resources/activities linking healthy diet and climate change such as remote/interactive farming platform for schools; hybrid business models like food hubs, community urban vertical farms; a UK wide model to predict impacts of scaling regenerative farming, linking of regenerative farming produce to schools and anchor institutions procurement); (3) New policies and governance mechanisms (such as the Food Systems Council for Yorkshire) to ensure impact well beyond the programme; (4) New metrics and platform to help guide and drive transformation (e.g. new data for National Food School monitoring; and an open-source codebase with quantitative systems models to co-create a new metrics dashboard for FS transformation); (5) New narratives for different stakeholders to support cultural change; and (6) Bring together different stakeholders, information and new ways of thinking to ensure long-term transformational intent.
Overall, our cutting edge science that uses co-creation and action oriented methods will actively shift trajectories towards new kinds of regenerative FS in Yorkshire. It will also produce cutting-edge science about how to achieve transformation of FS towards the new concepts of regenerative futures. Through the influential researchers and partners involved, this learning will also be actively fed into UK policy and international endeavours, ensuring the programme has wide-reaching and long-lasting impact.

Title	A better deal for free school meals poems
Description	The poems were written by secondary school students aged 13 to 16, from seven schools in Yorkshire, as part of a project on the reality of what life at school is like on Free School Meals -A Better Deal for Free School Meals. The students undertook research in their own schools to investigate whether the Free School Meal allowance is enough to be able to buy tasty, healthy and sustainable food every day. Their research was turned into a report, which the students launched at an event in Parliament in November 2023. A number of the students wrote poems to accompany the report, and they shared their findings and performed their poems with MPs, Peers, civil servants from the Department for Education, campaigners, academics and civil society organisations.
Type Of Art	Creative Writing
Year Produced	2023
Impact	The students themselves found the research project very emotive and the writing of the poetry was an outlet for their thoughts and emotions. The poems had a strong impact on the audience when performed at the Parlimentary event - as they were authentic and from the heart.

It has generated interest and increased knowledge of vertical farming - particularly in the way it relates to vertical urban farms.


Title	Planet Pizza game
Description	We wanted to get children thinking about the climate impact of the food they eat, and how much difference different choices make. While there is always a range of values depending on how the foods are produced, and emissions are often difficult to measure, we felt that providing some fun typical numbers in an accessible format could help get across some of the most important issues. In the game play, the students (KS2) design a pizza and work out the climate impact of their choices. They can see how making swaps of the toppings they choose can significantly alter the climate impact of the pizza.
Type Of Art	Artefact (including digital)
Year Produced	2023
Impact	The game was initially trialled with 7 schools in Yorkshire. Based on the feedback, some of the support material around the game was amended. The resources to play the game are available to download from the Take a Bite Out of Climate Change website. The game was demonstrated at a Food Climate Education event in London in November 2023 and as a result of this we are hoping that the game will be reproduced as part of the Project in a box initiative which is part of the Children's University in South Yorkshire.

Description	The programme has produced a range of outputs which contain key findings about how to transform the food system (see below). We have provided new insights on the benefits of regenerative farming on soil health, the impact of current food provision in schools and what can be changed in the school food system and the different leverage points and lock-ins. Thirdly, we have identified design elements of sustainable business models and their associated supply chains in the food system. Our reports of findings include: ¦ Three-horizons research and co-creation with stakeholders led to supporting first ever North Yorkshire Council Food Strategy to be published in 2024 (Government and policy impact pathway with potential to have economic, social and health benefits) ¦ Food insecurity in Young People research: Rapid evaluation of the Holiday Activities and Food Programme in Yorkshire and MP briefings, Free School Meal Study published in BMJopen and Free School Meal Auto-enrolment. The latter resulting in over 2,000 families that qualified but did not apply for free-pre-school meal receiving the right level of support for the first time. (Government and policy impact pathway with potential to have economic, social and health benefits) ¦ Supporting the development of a multistakeholder local food action plan for Sheffield (Government and policy impact pathway with potential to have economic, social and health benefits) ¦ New School Policies and Practices including removing sugary cereals from breakfast clubs and food as standing item on governors meeting agendas (Policy impact pathway with potential to have economic, social and health benefits). FixOurFood is taking the lead in supporting and evaluating the set-up of Free School Meal auto-enrolment processes. Circa 40 local authorities have used the FixOurFood in Schools toolkit to implement auto-enrolment with more having expressed an interest. Do date nearly 3000 additional children have been registered to receive free school meals and £4.7M of additional pupil premium funding has gone into schools. ¦ Development of hyperlocal and new regenerative supply chains and provided support to build capacity and identity of the Yorkshire Grain Alliance. This alliance promotes the practice of scaling-up regenerative heritage wheat practice in Yorkshire. Also, the production of food for local foodbank and installation of New low energy lights installed at SS 2 Urban farm (Environmental and social impact) ¦ Potential for further effects through stakeholder engagement and dissemination activities (MP postcards, evidence for Select Committees, through New Governance mechanism e.g. Grow Yorkshire, Anchor Institutions, new PhD studentships, new young persons Leaders for Change network, and through publications and podcasts) Our publications include: Transformations to regenerative food systems-An outline of the FixOurFood project • UK government food strategy lacks ambition to achieve transformative food system change • Building back normal? An investigation of practice changes in the charitable and on-the-go food provision sectors through COVID-19 • Conversation piece on global methane pledge - COP 26.

Description	The project's main focus is on producing high quality research. Hence all project partners and individuals involved in the project - including five PhD students co-funded by University of York and postdoctoral researchers - have the potential to learn new skills and find careers within the UK food system in Yorkshire and beyond. The project currently involves eight postdoctoral researchers and is recruiting for two more, as two have already gone onto other positions - one stayed in research and the other took on a public health related role. These postdocs are considered by the project to be a major route to capacity building. One of the project's six outcome areas is to produce new visions of regenerative FS and another to outline new metrics and platform to help guide and drive transformation (e.g. new data for National Food School monitoring; and an open-source codebase with quantitative systems models to co-create a new metrics dashboard for FS transformation). The data currently planned for the Digital Dashboard AgriFoodPy includes environmental indicators such as UK consumption related CO2 emissions, food security indicators such as self-sufficiency ratio and energy per capita per day for elements of the food system. Ultimately such standardised platform would allow modelling to take place, e.g. impact of changing school food menus on GHGE. Work to collate multi-source data on the Yorkshire food system and make these data easy to access and understand has the potential to inform policy development in the region. In WP1, the project has already delivered activities such as the convening of 3 parallel sets of Three Horizons surveys and workshops with Yorkshire stakeholders (~60 stakeholders and ~30 hours of workshop time). This resulted in co-creation identifying current challenges, desired futures and key actions for transformation within each of our 3 subsystems. Those priorities have been adopted by the FixOurFood Commission - which itself was recognised as an essential component for Yorkshire food system transformation. The FixOurFood Commission has been established with 13 external Commissioners from across the food system and across Yorkshire who will provide a cohesive voice for Yorkshire food system transformation. The Commission will work with stakeholders to deliver across the areas of action identified through FixOurFood research. A key output from this work was also the initiation of the process of the upcoming first ever North Yorkshire Council Food Strategy. Having led the North Yorkshire team through a Three Horizons process, work on governance will further shape the way the strategy is embedded. Impacts on FBO behaviour FixOurFood project is designed to lead to changes in FBO behaviour through all its main focus areas. Firstly, in the Sustainable and healthy food for children area, the project involves innovation activities in development of new models of food procurement, new supply chain design, new business model design and environmentally sustainable menus for schools and early years settings. Businesses adopting and interacting with these procurement models will have to change their behaviour. An activity not anticipated in the original application for the project is pioneering of auto-enrolment of free school meals in Yorkshire which increased the number of families accessing Free school meals, which will be supplied by FBOs. This work on auto-enrolment is already changing practice within local authorities and has the potential to change policy at national level based on discussions with the Department of Education. A project to investigate the suitability of the Free School Meal Allowance empowered students from seven secondary schools around Yorkshire to be citizen scientists. The resulting report 'A better deal for free school meals' was presented by the students in Parliament to an audience including 16 MPs, four members of the House of Lords and civil servants. Secondly, in the Hybrid Business Models area, the project works on hybrid business models such as food hubs, networks e.g. The Grain Alliance and Deliciously Yorkshire, community urban vertical farm and a UK wide model to predict impacts of scaling regenerative farming. These food system type activities are carried out by businesses in the supply chain connecting farm to fork and hence have the potential to change the behaviour of directly involved businesses and through a demonstration effect also influence behaviour of competitors. Creation and sponsorship of the Best Sustainable Product award in the Deliciously Yorkshire Taste Awards has raised the profile of sustainable businesses in the region and the winner has reported that they are already securing new customers based on this public endorsement of their business model. Thirdly, in Regenerative Farming area, project activities include working with the actors from the food system to address an evidence gap relating to adoption of Regenerative Farming practices which will lead to better informed decisions. In this outcome area, the project has been working with the Food Foundation as well as YAS and Future Farmers in Yorkshire. With the latter they have identified key research needs and target trial practices and these are being tested at eight trial plots (University of Leeds University site), measuring indicators such as CO2 content in soil, working with experts from Cranfield University. Associated farming businesses are interested in regenerative farming but lack of knowledge and evidence are a key barrier. An area of overlap between the hybrid businesses and the regenerative agriculture is in the production of grain, its milling and use of the resultant flour. Work with the Grain Alliance is ongoing and talks have begun with major manufacturers and suppliers around use of regeneratively produced flour in mainstream food production. Other activities in this space included Angus Gowthorpe's farm visit (May 2022), Dearne Valley Cluster soil health workshop (Nov 2022), AHDB Ripon Monitor Farm event (Dec 2022) and Yorkshire Agricultural Society RegenAg farm walk (Dec 2022). At this stage the project identified practical steps needed to stimulate shifts towards regenerative farming. The expected outcome of the project is that farming businesses will adopt incremental as well as radical changes to their practices towards regenerative farming. Impacts on government policy FixOurFood also expects to be able to contribute to this area of TUKFS impacts starting at the regional level and feeding to the national and global levels. WPs 4 and 5 are specifically designed to enable policy learning and share narratives of what works for regional FS transformation. Exhibiting at the Great Yorkshire Show (visited by approximately 140,000 people) in July 2023 ensured a public dialogue both in terms of regenerative farming (an exhibit in the Innovation area) and vertical farming (an exhibit in the Food Hall). A demonstration of the vertical farm aeroponics growing system and use of virtual reality tours of the actual farm allowed the team to engage with farmers and food producers, politicians and the general public on the challenges faced by the Yorkshire food system and potential solutions to transformation. Two publications have focused on supporting the wider research community to understand both the transformation process and the way in which lessons from civil society can inform knowledge-policy interface leverage. The project team ran the only UK Rapid evaluation of the Holiday Activities and Food Programme in Yorkshire and relevant MP briefings. An early outcome of an auto-enrolment project organised by the FixOurFood team will result in those qualifying for free-school meals that do not apply receive the support. Beyond formal outputs, the secondments and knowledge sharing with local councils, the LEP and Defra on national levels have the potential to result in policy outcomes. Project activities are designed to highlight what works and shift narratives to promote regenerative food system in Yorkshire. The project with one of its platforms created in Yorkshire Schools ran a survey to identify top 5 things that children would like to change about their school food system and the project team then designed a postcard for local MPs in Yorkshire. Two of the main project's six outcome areas was to result in new policies and governance mechanisms (such as the Food Systems Council for Yorkshire) to ensure impact well beyond the programme and new narratives for different stakeholders to support cultural change; Impacts on public consumption patterns. The first outcome area relating to changes in public consumption is in school children. FixOurFood has established FixOurFood Schools Leaders for Change network who will work alongside Food Foundation's Young Food Ambassadors. The outcome that this strand of work is aiming for is reduction of inequalities in health and diet quality early in life and catalysing dietary change more broadly. The project has also embarked on an ambitious programme aiming to recruit all primary schools with nurseries across Yorkshire into unique experimental cohort through which it will share of success stories from schools where menus/consumption has changed, inspiring schools and governing bodies to learn from this experience. Linked to this work are also planned in-depth observations in 25 cohort schools informing intervention development to improve school food which will impact on children's dietary habits. The second potential outcome area is through work with the community urban vertical farm and business model research that attracts public interest. These activities related to these outcomes include: Edible York - cooking demo and activities for children; Pint of Science - Fixing York's food and water; York Food and Drink Festival; Monthly farm tours for local community; Farm Urban - Aquaponics Educational Programme for primary schools; and Providing fresh produce for Red Tower Food Bank. These have the potential to lead to social/community benefits. The FixOurFood programme is also influencing policy debates at a National level and the Principal Investigator Professor Bob Doherty has been selected to chair the expert elicitation panel for the UK Food Security Assessment in 2024.

Form Of Engagement Activity	A talk or presentation

Geographic Reach	National
Primary Audience	Professional Practitioners
Results and Impact	Brief: To communicate what is a value chain and how the concept can be exploited by organisations to make more value from the resources that they have. Abstract: Our simple view of a supply chain is where businesses use suppliers, grow or make products and sell these products to customers to generate profit. But what if we think about capabilities instead? What if we can use the capabilities of our fields, machinery, people and know how to do more? Could we see value chains rather than supply chains in which we use the capabilities in wider ways to sustain profits in the future? From AI services to carbon capture to exploiting 'wastes' there are many opportunities to make the most of the value of what we already have.
