Fera’s over-arching purpose is to support and develop a sustainable food chain, a healthy natural environment, and to protect the global community from biological and chemical risks. Our role within that is to provide robust evidence, rigorous
analysis and professional advice to Government, international organisations and the private sector. Within Fera, the risk and numerical sciences team conducts innovative research and provides expertise in risk, uncertainty analysis and statistics. An important
part of the team’s work is providing statistical advice and support to customers on a consultancy basis.
