Professor Kevin Morgan

Director of Regeneration Institute, Cardiff University

Kevin Morgan is Professor of Governance and Development in the School of City and Regional Planning at Cardiff University, where he is also co-director of the Regeneration Institute. With colleagues at Cardiff, he has recently completed a comparative study of school food reform in Europe and the US funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, the results of which were published as The School Food Revolution: Public Food and the Challenge of Sustainable Development (Earthscan, 2008). His research interests revolve around two main themes: (i) the role of cities and regions in fostering sustainable development and (ii) the politics of public food provisioning in developed and developing countries. His current project - Feeding the City in a Food Insecure World - examines the ways in which cities are striving to re-connect to their regional hinterlands to promote a more secure and more sustainable regionalised food system.
