The productivity of our global food system is threatened by environmental degradation, resource scarcity and climate change. At the same time the demand on the system is increasing due to a growing global population and increasing consumption. Sir John Beddington calls this a 'perfect storm' of challenges that must be addressed if our food system is to become sustainable. Business has a key role to play in meeting these challenges through minimising waste, helping to balance supply and demand, and contributing to better governance of the global food system (Foresight, 2011). Plan A makes M&S uniquely placed to become a leader and model for business engagement with and contribution to these issues. The KE Fellowship is a key step in that process, by facilitating the integration of science and business for the development of a more sustainable food system. The aim of the fellowship is to be a knowledge broker that facilitates and filters between NERC and M&S to maximise the uptake of NERC funded environmental science research relevant to business, and to promote mutually beneficial new KE and research projects through the development of a responsive partnership.

我们全球粮食系统的生产力受到环境退化、资源稀缺和气候变化的威胁。与此同时，由于全球人口的增长和消费的增加，对该系统的需求也在增加。约翰·贝丁顿爵士称这是一场挑战的“完美风暴”，如果我们的粮食系统要实现可持续发展，就必须解决这些挑战。企业在应对这些挑战方面可以发挥关键作用，减少浪费，帮助平衡供需，并促进全球粮食系统的更好治理（Foshan，2011年）。A计划使M&S处于独特的地位，成为企业参与和贡献这些问题的领导者和典范。KE奖学金是这一进程中的关键一步，它促进了科学与商业的融合，以发展更可持续的粮食系统。该奖学金的目的是成为一个知识经纪人，促进和NERC和M&S之间的过滤，以最大限度地提高NERC资助的环境科学研究与商业相关的吸收，并通过发展响应伙伴关系促进互利的新KE和研究项目。
