Research Impact
Delivering impactful research, designed to help meet global challenges.
We strive to tackle global issues, such as food insecurity and environmental challenges, via a vibrant and integrated research and impact environment, conducting globally competitive and sustainable research. Key examples of our impact include the Elliott Review (for UK Government) on food safety after the horsemeat scandal; determining the impact of intensive animal farming on climate change and land use; changes to animal-welfare legislation.
Our research clearly maps on to many UN Sustainable Development Goals, including Zero Hunger; Good Health; Clean Water; Climate Action. In the 2024 Times Higher Education Impact Rankings, we were placed No 19 for Life Below Water (out of 628 institutions) and No 9 for Life On Land (out of 741 institutions). The UN International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) designated us as an IAEA Collaborating Centre in 2021, recognising our global reach in food safety, authenticity and traceability.
See below for our recent research outputs and some ongoing examples of our impact:
