Michael Clark

Postdoctoral Researcher

Mike's research examines how dietary choices affect environmental sustainability and human health. He uses global models and meta-analyses to examine these issues and to provide insight into what can be done to reduce the impact that diets have on environmental sustainability and human health.

He is part of LEAP (Livestock, Environment and People), a four-year project supported by the Wellcome Trust’s Our Planet Our Health Programme, working on the project's 'Modelling the Food System' work package.
