Research interests
Mark's research interests focus on healthy and sustainable food systems and food and nutrition policy. He and his colleagues have secured over $7 million in category 1 research grants to investigate the science and politics of evidence use in nutrition policy-making, particularly in relation to healthy and sustainable food systems, Dietary guidelines, Nutrient Reference Values, food regulation and obesity prevention.
He is leading a transdisciplinary research team, funded by an ARC Discovery project grant 'Reforming evidence synthesis and translation for food and nutrition policy'.
He is co-leading (with Professor Sarah McNaughton) a large World Health Organization project involving the preparation of a series of systematic reviews investigating the relationships between dietary patterns and 14 health outcomes.
