Dr Anneli Löfstedt is a keen advocate for building healthier and sustainable food systems. Her research models the impact of policy scenarios on environment, and health outcomes, and the disparities these interventions may create across demographic groups, focusing on the UK context. This work is part of ‘Sustainable and Healthy Interventions for Food Transitions’ (SHIFT), a three-year programme supported by the Wellcome Trust.

Prior to moving to Oxford, Anneli was a postdoctoral researcher at the Rowett Institute (University of Aberdeen), where she created an open-source database mapping the UK seafood supply chain. She holds a doctorate from the University of Aberdeen, which focused on linking fisheries and human nutrition. She modelled novel harvesting strategies, optimising for quality (nutrients), as opposed to quantity (yield). Anneli is passionate about communicating scientific research to wider audiences and is involved in various outreach initiatives.
