Our research themes

CAWR aims to advance resilience through creative work on a new generation of complex socio-economic and environmental issues impacting on the ability of people and communities to provide nutritious food, clean water and sustainable environments for all of Earth’s inhabitants. Working hard with our many and varied partners from communities, civil society, enterprise and policy, our staff and students strive to deliver real-world impacts to support more sustainable, equitable and resilient food and water systems locally and internationally.

Each research theme has a strong practical focus on developing and embedding research at the local, national and international levels, generating local solutions which can have global impact and resonance.
