Talitha Bromwich

Senior Research Associate in Food Metrics and Biodiversity

Profile

Talitha is a Senior Research Associate in Food Metrics and Biodiversity. Her research focuses on applying data-driven and machine-learning approaches to improve environmental impact assessment within complex food systems, with a particular focus on food product data, environmental footprint estimation, and large-scale data integration.
As part of the THRIVING Food Futures (Transdisciplinary Health Research to Identify Viable Interventions for Net zero Goals) programme, she is developing analytical pipelines and computational tools to support research into sustainable food system transformation. Her work focuses on linking diverse food and environmental datasets, estimating missing environmental information where data are incomplete, and improving the transparency and accessibility of sustainability metrics for research and decision-making. Alongside this, she collaborates with academic, NGO policy, and industry partners on approaches to improving environmental impact data and assessing sustainability challenges at national and international scales.

With a background spanning biodiversity conservation, physics, bioinformatics, and spatial analysis, Talitha’s previous research included biodiversity footprinting, nature-positive strategies, rewilding, and habitat mapping using remote sensing technologies. She has worked with organisations including Rewilding Britain, the Wildlife Trusts, WWF UK, and partners across business and finance to develop approaches for measuring and reducing environmental impacts.
Before joining the Smith School, Talitha held research roles within the Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery and the Oxford Nature Positive Hub, and served as Research Lead at Wild Business. Earlier work includes a PhD in Physics at the University of Oxford developing technologies for future high-energy particle colliders, an MSc in Global Biodiversity Conservation from the University of Sussex, and research in human population genetics at the University of Edinburgh.
