Join us for the latest of our weekly programme of coffee morning research presentations (and cake!). Over the coming weeks, we'll be hearing from a wide range of members, so join us every Thursday morning, either in-person from 10.45am or online from 11am (see below), to hear about new environmental, climate and sustainability research and initiatives from UCD and beyond.

Research talk

Sustainable Food Systems in Education will be presented by Sarah Browne from UCD School of Public Health, Physiotherapy and Sports Science.

Overview

Sarah has a background as a dietitian, and as such, interacts with several facets of the food system. The talk will focus on her research in the secondary school food environment setting and ongoing work to develop excellence in sustainable food systems education for nutrition and dietetic programmes in higher education.
