Summary
Sarah Bridle is a climate-focused scientist and entrepreneur who leverages quantitative modelling to transform food and agriculture toward net zero. As Co-Founder and Director of the AFN Network+ and Professor of Food, Climate and Society at the University of York, she builds cross-disciplinary networks and open-access tools like AgriFoodPy underpinning the FixOurFood Agrifood Calculator. Trained as a Bayesian cosmologist (PhD, Cambridge) and author of Food and Climate Change — Without the Hot Air, she translates complex data into clear public-facing guidance that empowers everyday choices. Her career spans senior academic posts and high-impact research (100+ refereed papers, h>50, >10,000 citations) and is distinguished by major awards and ERC grants. Uncommonly for a climate researcher, she combines deep statistical expertise from cosmology with hands-on software and metrics development for the agrifood sector.
