FSA Northern Ireland – Surveillance Work
The Food Standards Agency in Northern Ireland (FSA NI) does not engage directly in commissioning research. Where possible FSA NI seeks to ensure that Northern Ireland issues are addressed in the context of the Food Standards Agency's UK-wide research and surveillance programme. In practical terms FSA NI concentrates on funding surveillance activity on a range of issues within Northern Ireland.
Homelessness and food poverty
The Food Standards Agency Northern Ireland commissioned research into food poverty and homelessness in Northern Ireland. The aim of this research was to deliver a better understanding of the impact of poverty and social exclusion on the diet of people who are homeless in Northern Ireland.
Student attitudes to food
In November 2005 the Agency employed ARK (Northern Ireland Social and Political Archive) to undertake a food attitudes and behaviour survey among university students in Northern Ireland.
