Governments look to the food chain to provide safe products and contribute to economic and social goals, while improving both environmental sustainability and public health. ICF GHK works on the design, appraisal and evaluation of policies across the food chain. Our clients are international, national, regional and local. Our food chain practice continues to expand, particularly through projects that support the European Commission and offer strategic advice to UK Government and industry.

Our team uses a multi-disciplinary approach combined with specialist skills to address complex issues and analyse dynamic systems. We have developed particular expertise in programme and policy evaluation with a focus on food security, food and feed regulations, animal welfare, and the scientific research that underpins and supports agricultural production. ICF GHK’s climate change and food chain teams collaborate to examine the linkages between the food chain and the climate change agenda.
