Agrifood Futures is a bold research and innovation strategy that will transform the way we produce, consume and think about food as we move towards 2050. At its heart are three interconnected Priority Research Areas, each shaped to deliver long-term, challenge-led programmes of research and innovation:


	A resilient food system for everyone
	Farming systems that work with nature and our climate
	Food that nourishes people and the planet


These Areas will be supported by significant new enabling investments including a state-of-the-art innovation farm, advanced food processing facilities, and a participatory platform for nutrition and consumer behaviour.

To launch this strategy, the University is establishing a world-class leadership team of five senior appointments:

	Director, Resilient Food Systems – a professorial role leading research that empowers stakeholders to understand, mitigate and adapt to risks and shocks in the global agrifood system, ensuring resilience for the future.
	Director, Sustainable Farming Systems – a professorial role driving transformative research in farming practices that work with nature and climate, delivering sustainable production alongside environmental and biodiversity gains.
	Director, Healthy Sustainable Foods – a professorial role leading the transformation towards diets that are healthy, sustainable, desirable and accessible, supported by cutting-edge food processing and consumer-focused research.
	Head of Strategic Partnerships and Investments – a professional services role forging transformative partnerships across industry, government and global stakeholders, and securing major co-investments to deliver the strategy at scale.


The Head of Strategic Partnerships and Investments will play a pivotal role in delivering the ambition of Agrifood Futures. The postholder will lead the development of a high-impact ecosystem of strategic partnerships, working with major stakeholders across industry, government, research and the third sector. They will forge transformative collaborations, secure significant joint investments, and position Reading as a proactive, valued partner at the centre of the global agrifood sector.
