ANNELI LÖFSTEDT

Anneli is a postdoctoral researcher in Food System Environmental Modelling. The central aim of her research is to build healthier, more sustainable food systems. Her research models the impact of policy scenarios on environment and health outcomes, and the disparities such interventions may create across demographic groups, focusing on the UK context. This work is part of 'Sustainable and Healthy Interventions for Food Transitions'  (SHIFT), a three-year programme supported by the Wellcome Trust. Prior to moving to Oxford, Anneli was a postdoctoral researcher at the Rowett Institute (University of Aberdeen), where she created an open-source database mapping the UK seafood supply chain which also models nutrient flows to understand what is gained or lost via trade. She holds a doctorate from the University of Aberdeen, which focused on linking fisheries and human nutrition - exploring how aquatic foods can contribute to health and environmental goals. She modelled novel harvesting strategies, optimising for quality (nutrients) as opposed to quantity (yield). Anneli is passionate about communicating scientific research to wider audiences and is involved in various outreach initiatives. She is a member of the Oxford Martin programme on the Future of Food and of the Smith School's Sustainable Food Solutions programme.
