Ever wondered what food scientists actually do? Join us for a lively, hands-on workshop where families can explore how scientists use data on everyday food choices to tackle some of the biggest challenges in human and planetary health.

Meet the expert team from the Co-Centre for Sustainable Food Systems at Ulster University and Queen’s University Belfast, who are leading a ground-breaking new study on food and health. Discover how their research is shaping healthier, more sustainable diets – for you, your family, and the planet!
