Dr Rachel Pechey is a behavioural scientist focused on healthier, sustainable and equitable food purchasing and consumption. 

Her research interests include exploring the effectiveness of interventions that alter features within places where people buy or eat food (e.g. within shops, bars and restaurants) to improve the healthiness and sustainability of diets. She is interested in understanding the mechanisms underlying the impact of such interventions, to better predict their potential impact on health and the planet, as well as whether these might exacerbate dietary inequalities.
