Campaign Group Reports
Web integration by Abdul-Rahman Asankomah
The UK’s food campaign groups publish numerous high-quality reports on many aspects of the food system. No researcher or policy-maker can afford to ignore this wealth of specialist information – but they might have trouble finding it because it is not collated and indexed in the way academic papers are.
To fill this gap, we have created this unique searchable database, which brings together reports on key topics from the UK’s leading food campaign groups. From affordability to pesticides, agroecology to animal welfare, this webpage enables users to search for relevant reports by topic or by organisation – just enter the term in the search box.
We will update the webpage on a monthly basis. If you would like us to include your organisation’s reports, please contact us here.
