Crop To Shop Research Community

Connecting food system questions with the people who know the answers.

Crop To Shop is our supply chain research community, bringing together experts from across the food system, from field to fork.

Collaboration is often talked about. Making it happen is harder. We created Crop To Shop to bring the right people into the same research conversations, generating insight that supports better decisions across the supply chain.

Why join?

If you work in food production, processing, retail, policy, sustainability or supply chain management, your perspective matters.

As a member, you will:

  • Be invited to paid research opportunities
  • Take part in surveys, interviews or roundtables
  • Contribute to research shaping major industry decisions
  • Choose which projects you wish to participate in

We work with universities, NGOs, brands and government bodies seeking informed, real-world insight from across the sector.

What we focus on

The challenges facing the food system are interconnected and evolving. Our research spans issues such as:

  • Supply chain resilience
  • Nutritional access and food poverty
  • Climate change and environmental impact
  • Regulation and policy change
  • Commercial pressures and pricing
  • Collaboration across sectors

We design research that supports shared understanding and evidence-led action, not just discussion.

How it works

Members receive invitations to relevant research opportunities. Participation is always optional, and we are clear about expectations, timelines and payment.

We believe expertise should be valued, and we pay participants for their time and insight.

Who we work with

We collaborate with academic institutions, NGOs, brands, membership bodies and government organisations seeking credible, cross-sector perspectives.

Crop To Shop ensures those perspectives are grounded in lived professional experience.

Join Crop To Shop and be part of research shaping the future of food.
