Mike Clark serves as a Researcher and James Martin Fellow at the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, University of Oxford, with additional affiliation at the Centre on Population Approaches for Non-Communicable Disease Prevention since August 2018. His interdisciplinary work bridges environmental science, economics, and public health through quantitative food systems analysis.
His educational background includes a PhD in Natural Resources Science and Management from the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, complemented by undergraduate studies in biology and ecology.
Clark's research centers on modeling environmental, economic, and health impacts of global food systems, with emphasis on quantifying benefits from dietary shifts and agricultural yield improvements. His methodology integrates systems thinking to project outcomes of food system transformations under varying policy and behavioral scenarios.
Key recognitions include:
- James Martin Fellowship
He leads significant collaborative initiatives including the Wellcome Trust-funded 'Livestock, Environment and People' project expanding food system modeling to incorporate biodiversity metrics, and the 'Operationalising Guidance for the Treasury Green Book' programme developing policy evaluation frameworks. His work involves extensive partnerships across Oxford departments and international institutions.
Clark operates within Oxford's Centre on Population Approaches for Non-Communicable Disease Prevention, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams spanning the Medical Sciences Division and Smith School to advance sustainable food system research.
