Rachel Pechey

Rachel is a behavioural scientist focused on healthier, sustainable and equitable food purchasing and consumption.

Her research interests include exploring the effectiveness of different changes we can make (e.g. labels, the availability of different products, or promotional activities) within key places where we select or eat food (e.g. supermarkets, restaurants) to make it easier for people to have healthier and more sustainable diets. She is also interested in the impact of these kinds of interventions on health inequalities.

She is currently working on a Wellcome Trust & Royal Society Sir Henry Dale Fellowship, which aims to establish the extent to which evidence from interventions to support healthier diets can inform interventions to create urgently needed change to improve the sustainability of diets.
