World Food Day highlights a pressing reality: food insecurity continues to affect millions around the world, exacerbated by climate change, inflation and geopolitical conflicts. In recognition of this year's World Food Day, DPhil student Elif Naz Çoker shares insights from her research and experiences of the DPhil in Primary Health Care programme. Elif is a member of the Sustainable Healthy Food Group within our Health Behaviours team, which focuses on developing policies and interventions that aim to foster healthier, more sustainable food environments, offering crucial steps toward a future where nutritious food is accessible to all.

Elif is standing in front of a projected slide presentation titled "Role of Ethnicity in Meat Consumption: A UK Survey Study on Norms, Attitudes, Intentions, Behaviors," which she presented at the International Conference on Environmental Psychology (ICEP) 2023 in Denmark. She is smiling and holding a remote, dressed casually, in front of a brick wall background.
