Jeremy Brice is Lecturer in Sustainability and Innovation at the Alliance Manchester Business School, where he is affiliated to both the Sustainable Consumption Institute (SCI) and the Manchester Institute for Innovation Research (MIoIR). Jeremy holds a DPhil in Geography and the Environment from the University of Oxford, and moved to Manchester in 2022 after undertaking postdoctoral research at Newcastle University, LSE and the University of Oxford.

Jeremy’s research interests lie at the intersection between human geography, economic sociology and Science and Technology Studies. His empirical work draws upon these interdisciplinary perspectives to examine how ethics, sustainability and risk are governed within global agri-food systems and to explore the environmental, technological and economic transformations associated with changing food provisioning practices. He works closely with environmental and food policymakers and has led research projects commissioned by the UK’s Food Standards Agency and by the European Parliament’s Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety.

Jeremy’s research has been funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, the British Academy and the Food Standards Agency, and has examined topics including:

• The changing geographies of provenance, quality and value within the Australian wine industry
• The anticipation of crises and the governance of risk within global food supply chains
• The making of digital marketplaces for food and the governance of food safety, sustainability and consumer choice within them
• The marketization of food ethics and sustainability issues within ESG investment practices
