Centre for Food Policy Director, Professor Christina Vogel and Reader, Dr Christian Reynolds, are co-investigators on Health Economic Analysis incorporating effects on Labour outcomes, Households, Environment and Inequalities (HEALTHEI) for food taxes.

A collaboration between the University of Sheffield and Teeside University HEALTHEI is funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). This project looks at the way food taxes might affect the whole food system, and will estimate the effects on health, NHS costs, employment, the economy and environment.

Led by UCL, The Healthy Weight Policy Research Unit (HWPRU) aims to deliver the evidence needed to help the government develop and implement policies that support people to maintain and achieve a healthy weight across the life-course, and reduce the prevalence and burden of obesity.

The Centre for Food Policy is a collaborator on the research alongside the Institute for Fiscal Studies, Obesity Voices, University of Liverpool, University of Birmingham, Leeds Beckett University and University of Oxford.
