Grantham Scholar Joe Llanos writes a summary of issues that affect UK food resilience for POST.
POST is parliament’s in-house source of analysis of public-policy issues. And their focus is public-policy issues related to science and technology. However, they publish summaries (POSTnotes) on a wide range of subjects.
Grantham Scholar Joe Llanos has been working with POST for the last few months. While at Post, he was funded by N8 Agrifood.
Joe has written a blog about his time with POST and you can read that here.
While at POST Joe has been examining resilience in the UK food sector. His POSTnote A resilient UK food system defines resilience and explains why it is needed. Plus Joe shows what a more resilient UK food system could look like and explores possible ways of achieving it.
Joe spoke to a number of experts for this POSTnote, including Peter Jackson from The Institute for Sustainable Food at the University of Sheffield and Lenny Koh from Energy Institute at the University of Sheffield.
The Grantham Centre has worked with POST on other POSTnotes. Find out more about them here.

COVID-19 has highlighted the need for our food system to be resilient to shocks. I'm really glad to be able to share my POSTnote, which explores possible ways of making the food system more resilient. Thanks to the amazing @POST_UK team for having me, & @N8agrifood for funding! https://t.co/D66plbvd9J — Joe Llanos (@joe_llanos) June 16, 2020
