About Us

The Household Food & Health Study is part of the Co-Centre for Sustainable Food Systems, a collaboration bringing together researchers, innovators, and communities across Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Great Britain.

The Co-Centre is about tackling one of the biggest questions of our time: how can we transform the way we produce, eat, and think about food so it’s healthier for people and the planet?

By combining science, technology, and social research, the Co-Centre is working on fresh ideas and practical solutions that will help shape the food systems of the future. 

The goal? To make sure Ireland and the UK are not only part of the global shift towards sustainability and climate-neutrality by 2050 but helping to lead the way.
