Project case study produced by the Virtual Engineering Centre.

Project description:

The University of Liverpool’s Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Food Systems underwent research into how different types of food is distributed across the Liverpool city region, highlighting variables including types of stores, availability of food types and access to these for a range of neighbourhoods through opening times and travel routes including bus paths.

The VEC developed a digital interface which would capture all of these variables and demonstrates this data by communicating and highlighting key areas of concern, recommending how decision makers can improve access to healthier foods for more households.
