About
Defra awarded a contract to the University of Exeter for the development and expansion of its existing food price modelling system, valued at £174,571.07.
The project addresses Defra's need to better understand the impact of food price changes on consumers' health and welfare, a need made more pressing by increasing pressures from modern society.
The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the UK's exit from the European Union, and the war in Ukraine contributed to increased food price volatility in the UK, with November 2022 seeing year-on-year food price inflation rise to the highest levels since the 1970s.
