BBSRC Institute Strategic Programmes (John Innes Centre): NISD Partner Grant

约翰英尼斯中心（JIC）是位于诺里奇研究园区（NRP）的一群杰出研究机构之一，诺里奇研究园区还包括诺里奇可持续发展研究所（NISD），这是一家专门从事自然科学和社会科学综合研究的研究所。与NISD的合作使JIC能够增强其全球和社会视野，促进参与世界领先的社会科学，营养科学，环境科学和气候研究。通过合作，JIC作为植物和微生物研究机构的关键质量与东安格利亚大学和NRP大学环境中的广泛专业知识相辅相成，并在英国和世界各地（包括全球南方）发挥最大的影响。JIC NISD伙伴关系的目标：我们已经确定了这一伙伴关系资助的三个关键目标，涵盖JIC的四个研究所战略计划：促进植物健康、建立作物健壮性、提供可持续小麦和利用生物合成促进可持续粮食和健康。这些是：1。利用社会和环境科学的见解，为作物的气候适应能力和可持续性改进提供信息。2 .利用作物基因组编辑造福人类健康和环境，应对技术、政策和可接受性方面的挑战。多样化蛋白质来源，利用消费者行为转变方面的专业知识以及粮食系统转型的机遇和挑战。

The John Innes Centre (JIC) is one of a cluster of outstanding research institutes located on the Norwich Research Park (NRP), which also includes the Norwich Institute for Sustainable Development (NISD), an institute specialising in integrating research in the natural and social sciences. Working with NISD enables JIC to enhance its global and social perspective, facilitating engagement with world-leading research in social sciences, nutritional science, environmental science and climate research. By working collaboratively, JIC's critical mass as a plant and microbial research institute is complemented with the breadth of expertise found within a university environment at the University of East Anglia and across the NRP and maximise impacts both in the UK and around the world, including the Global South. Aims for the JIC NISD Partnership:We have identified three key aims for this partnership grant that span JIC's four Institute Strategic Programmes, Advancing Plant Health, Building Robustness in Crops, Delivering Sustainable Wheat and Harnessing Biosynthesis for Sustainable Food and Health. These are to:1. Use insights from social and environmental sciences to inform crop improvement for climate resilience and sustainability.2. Utilise crop genome editing for human health and environmental benefits, navigating technical, policy and acceptability challenges.3. Diversify protein sources, using expertise on shifting consumer behaviour as well as opportunities and challenges to food system transformation.
