Dr. Pietro P.M. Iannetta is a plant biologist and ecologist who studies the complex interactions that determine the sustainability of food and feed systems, including those of the brewing, distilling, and aquaculture industries. He delivers key research programmes to support the Scottish Government’s strategic research program, and by securing layered funding, builds international research and development networks and programmes. He is also an Honorary Lecturer at the University of Dundee, and his research is strongly focused on legume-supported cropped systems, from production to consumption. This includes developing the use of underutilised crops and novel cropped systems, plus the implementation of additional innovations beyond the farm gate that encourage greater resource use efficiency, improved ecosystem functions, and realisation of circular economies. He works very closely with a wide range of industry and applied science stakeholders, and provides extension services to value-chain actors, including policymakers. He is also a Visiting Professor (Auxiliary) at the Centro de Biotecnologia e Quimica Fina (BCQF), Universidade Católica Portuguesa, Porto, where he is also a lecturer, plus supervisor for under- and post-graduate students of: Nutritional Sciences - Production Systems and Sustainability (Degree); European Master's Degree in Food Science, Technology and Business (BiFTec); and Food Engineering: Environmental Practices and Sustainability (MRes).
