THRIVE
Tackling Hunger with Research and Innovation in Vulnerable Environments
We are THRIVE! A community-led research and engagement initiative that works alongside communities, health professionals and researchers to improve food security, safe eating and disability inclusion. Through collaborative research, practical innovation and culturally responsive approaches, THRIVE supports equitable, dignified and accessible food systems for vulnerable populations.

Food Preparation
Developing enjoyable, affordable and dysphagia-safe meals.
Con-Texture
Supporting practical food texture classification using the IDDSI framework in local communities.
