Publications

FAI is an interdisciplinary research centre that focuses on issues, challenges, and sustainability solutions related to food and farm systems. FAI conducts research under two major themes: (1) agricultural technology and innovation, and (2) food systems planning and policy. Below are publications authored/co-authored by FAI researchers that relate to these themes, as well as other publications that more broadly relate to food, culture, and sustainability.

Publications by theme:
