Mike Von Massow is interested in how people think about food with recent work focusing on labeling, novel food products, animal welfare and antibiotic use.  He is also active in the interdisciplinary Guelph Food Waste Research Project with Dr Kate Parizeau.  Mike’s research also considers the structure and performance of food value chains as they evolve in response to changing consumer preferences and other factors.

As a frequent blogger with a strong presence on broadcast, print and social media, Mike helps contribute to the Department’s on-going efforts to mobilize research in a manner that helps to inform public policy and private strategy.  Mike has also introduced his FoodFocus Podcast to discuss issues of interest in the food space.
