Our People

The Division has over 30 staff with a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds – including agricultural and veterinary sciences, nutrition, public health, epidemiology, mathematics, data sciences, economics, social sciences, law - and strong interdisciplinary interests.

A further 40 or so staff from different schools in the University are Associates of the Division of Global Agriculture and Food Systems. Over 30 PhD students are based in or associated with the Division, and we have a rapidly growing cadre of taught postgraduate students, as well as undergraduate students studying primarily with us, or taking our elective courses from other Schools.
