Anne Nugent is a Reader in Nutrition and Registered Public Health Nutritionist. She has carried out research into population dietary intakes of nutrients, foods, food ingredients and food chemicals. A keen advocate of a food systems approach, Anne is experienced in examining the impact on population dietary intakes from changes in our food supply from a farm level right up to fortifying foods with vitamins and/or minerals. She has also conducted feeding studies to examine how changes in our food supply can influence circulating markers of health in our blood.
Anne is currently the Queen's University Belfast PI of the Protein-I project, an island of Ireland project, which aims to maximise sustainable plant protein production in a traceable and transparent fashion, with a focus on grains and legumes. The project is funded by The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA, NI) and Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM, ROI).
