This project will look at how processes of ‘innovation’ in agroecology and food sovereignty – what does it look like, is it different from other innovation approaches, and how do agroecological innovations spread around? The goal is to support farmers, communities and social movements in developing approaches to innovation that can help to develop agroecology as an alternative paradigm to corporate-industrial agriculture.
This project from the Centre for Agroecology, Water and Resilience (CAWR) aims to critically examine the emergence of what we call ‘austerity retail’ initiatives amidst rising food poverty in Britain. These include ‘social supermarkets’ and other forms of ‘community shop’ offering highly discounted products, and often making use of ‘surplus’ or ‘rejected’ foods which would otherwise be thrown away.
This project aims to quantify the temporal changes of flow patterns in the River Niger.
The overarching aim of the research was to amplify the voices of people from ethnic minority communities who have been affected by gambling and crime.
The PLANET4B research project aims to understand and influence decision making affecting biodiversity.
This PhD project investigates the ways in which collaborative practices of natural resource planning, management and ownership are currently being pursued in Wales and with what effect.
WINN-ORGANIC is a Horizon Europe Innovation Action comprising 19 partners from 9 countries. The project addresses systemic imbalances in the organic food value chain and is working to improve access to and procurement of organic food.
This project aims to review the way Ruskin Mill Trust evidence the effectiveness of their Practical Skills and Therapeutic Education programme and the impact on those involved.
This research programme comprises a growing number of research projects, doctoral studies, academic publications and outreach activities. Subtle Agroecologies “is not a farming system in itself, but superimposes a non-material dimension upon existing, materially-based agroecological farming systems. It is grounded in the lived experiences of humans working on, and with, the land, and with nature over thousand of years to the present.” (Wright, 2021)
The overall aim of this project is to evaluate trade-offs between novel range management practices (intensified planned grazing, corralling and removal of woody plants).
The aim of this project was to identify and redress issues affecting resilience to flooding in refugee camps.
This project addresses two intertwined challenges: many small producers lack the digital skills, tools, or confidence to sell online, and many low-income households face digital barriers to accessing affordable, nutritious, locally sourced food.
The mountains, hills and valleys of Wales play a central role in the culture, recreation, economy and environment of the Welsh nation and yet they are declining. The semi-wild (or semi-feral pony) is native to Wales and can play a critical role in reversing that decline.
This project will determine the ability of purpose-built, large-scale biofiltration cells downstream from a large informal settlement to treat contaminated runoff resulting from dysfunctional sanitation and limited urban drainage infrastructure.
This research project explores how the hill-bred Welsh Mountain Pony, a local and hardy breed that has graced our landscape for centuries, have undergone a dramatic decline such that there is only around 400 left now.
The benefits of green roofs individually include the improvement and reduction of energy consumption, while a concentration across a large area has been proven to reduce temperatures in the surrounding climate.
The aim of this two year KTP project is to investigate the value of water managed green infrastructure in urban areas to improve biodiversity.
The overall aim of the ‘Organic-PLUS project’ (O+) is to provide high-quality, trans-disciplinary, scientifically informed decision support to help all actors in the organic sector, including national and regional policy makers, to reach the next level of the organic success story in Europe.
The project aims to fill the scientific knowledge gap in peat-free plant production in ornamental horticulture.
True project aims to identify the best routes, or “transition paths” to increase sustainable legume cultivation and consumption across Europe.
