This ESRC fellowship offers the unique opportunity to share my expertise in sustainable school food, impact policy and practice by developing accessible dissemination materials and design a training toolkit for school food practitioners. I will demonstrate further academic impact through key publications based on my PhD research. I will also conduct a novel piece of research to address multiple food-related societal issues and engage children directly in shaping their school food. The sustainability, nutritional value and cost of school meals make them key to young people's wellbeing and local efforts to combat food insecurity and climate change. Growing school youth activism, call for an urgent school food transformation. The cost-of-living crisis, on the other hand, is predicted to lead to a 'race to the bottom' for school food. My doctoral study implemented and evaluated the first sustainable school meal research intervention enhanced by an experiential food education content in three schools in England. I developed a theoretical and practical framework, showing what works, for whom, how and in what contexts, and demonstrating that sustainable school meals and experiential food education should work in tandem. Findings suggested that improving the health and environmental standards of school food requires placing key school food system actors, pupils, caterers and local farmers, at the heart of school food transformation. Building on my research expertise in sustainable school food, I am currently developing a sustainable school food landscape for Cornwall as part of a knowledge exchange research project in partnership with Cornwall Council and Sustainable Food Cornwall. Although it has not allowed me to disseminate my PhD findings, my current role (Jan-Dec 2023) is well within my school food work. Part of a larger knowledge exchange team, I am developing a multiple level landscape map where local food producers are linked to schools in Cornwall. I will highlight three cases where school-producer partnership can be established, and where opportunities can be amplified, highlighting challenges and developing a roadmap for sustainable school food transformation for Cornwall. This Fellowship will enable me to leverage the valuable partnerships I established with key school food stakeholders such as schools, caterers, farmers and local authorities during my PhD and subsequent research. Through those partnerships, I will be in a strong position to disseminate my PhD findings and drive policy and practice change. For example, the Academy for Character and Excellence, are willing to take part in the film and support my proposed new research. This ESRC fellowship will have a significant impact on my academic contribution, and career trajectory. The Fellowship will allow me to widen my research impact, consolidate my PhD and subsequent research experience, establish myself as an international expert in the fast-growing interdisciplinary field of sustainable school food systems. During this fellowship I will: - - Share my doctoral research findings in open access, peer reviewed journals, and international conferences. - Extend my real-world impact by engaging in public facing dissemination activities and produce a muchneeded practitioner training. The toolkit will include Life Cycle Assessment for school meals, financial analysis templates, recipe and menu planning guide, waste weighing and management as well as reliable and easy to use nutritional analysis tool. - Develop new methodological skills and plan a future research agenda for sustainable school food.

这个ESRC奖学金提供了一个独特的机会，通过开发可访问的传播材料和为学校食品从业者设计培训工具包，分享我在可持续学校食品，影响政策和实践方面的专业知识。我将通过基于我的博士研究的关键出版物展示进一步的学术影响。我还将进行一项新颖的研究，以解决多种与食品相关的社会问题，并让孩子们直接参与塑造他们的学校食品。 学校供餐的可持续性、营养价值和成本使其成为青年福祉和地方应对粮食不安全和气候变化努力的关键。日益增长的学校青年行动主义，呼吁紧急学校食品改造。另一方面，生活成本危机预计将导致学校食品的“竞相降价”。我的博士研究实施和评估了第一个可持续学校餐研究干预增强了体验式食品教育内容在英格兰的三所学校。我开发了一个理论和实践框架，展示了什么是有效的，对谁有效，如何有效，在什么背景下有效，并证明了可持续学校膳食和体验式食品教育应该协同工作。 研究结果表明，提高学校食品的健康和环境标准，需要把关键的学校食品系统的行为者，学生，餐饮和当地农民，在学校食品改造的核心。 基于我在可持续学校食品方面的研究专长，我目前正在为康沃尔郡开发可持续学校食品景观，作为与康沃尔郡理事会和康沃尔郡可持续食品合作的知识交流研究项目的一部分。虽然它不允许我传播我的博士研究结果，我目前的角色（2023年1月至12月）是在我的学校食品工作。作为一个更大的知识交流团队的一部分，我正在开发一个多层次的景观地图，将当地的食品生产商与康沃尔的学校联系起来。我将重点介绍三个案例，在这些案例中，可以建立学校与生产者的伙伴关系，并扩大机会，突出挑战，为康沃尔郡的可持续学校食品转型制定路线图。 这项奖学金将使我能够利用我在博士和后续研究期间与学校，餐饮，农民和地方当局等主要学校食品利益相关者建立的宝贵伙伴关系。通过这些合作伙伴关系，我将在一个强有力的地位，以传播我的博士研究成果，并推动政策和实践的变化。例如，品格与卓越学院，愿意参与电影并支持我提出的新研究。这个ESRC奖学金将对我的学术贡献和职业轨迹产生重大影响。奖学金将使我扩大我的研究影响，巩固我的博士学位和后续的研究经验，建立自己作为一个国际专家在快速增长的跨学科领域的可持续学校食品系统。 在此期间，我将：- -在开放获取，同行评审期刊和国际会议上分享我的博士研究成果。 - 通过参与面向公众的传播活动来扩大我在现实世界中的影响力，并提供急需的从业者培训。该工具包将包括校餐生命周期评估、财务分析模板、食谱和菜单规划指南、废物称重和管理以及可靠和易于使用的营养分析工具。 - 开发新的方法技能，并规划未来的可持续学校食品研究议程。
