Sarah Elton researches the ways the food system impacts human health and ecosystems and their implications for food justice drawing on critical qualitative health research methodologies. She works across the food system, studying: produce supply chains in the context of climate change and food access; socio-ecological food systems of urban gardens; and the human gut microbiome from a social science perspective. She is the inaugural Eakin Chair in Critical Qualitative Health Research Methodology at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto.
