The extension of the Master Gardener Programme from a community to a prison setting was in recognition of research evidence that showed a range of positive outcomes associated with the role of horticulture in supporting physical, emotional, behavioural and social wellbeing.
Iron Age ‘bog bodies’ have fascinated scholars and the public alike for over two centuries due to their exceptional preservation. Research has typically focused on forensic examination of the bodies themselves but, despite much revolutionary scientific research, debate surrounding why individuals were killed and deposited in bogs has stagnated. Consensus generally remains divided between two key themes originally suggested in the early 19th and 20th centuries: capital punishment, and ritual sacrifice.
The production of field vegetables and salad crops is highly dependent on transplanted seedlings that are grown in media often containing peat.
This project aims to build a collaborative partnership between Coventry University and Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA).
This project builds on an FGM information webapp that was successfully developed for young people by Coventry University.
Fluids in many industrial settings such as food processes, glass manufacturing or metal casting exhibit non-Newtonian behaviours (e.g. shear stress is not proportional to shear rate). For processes like mixing, pumping or production in industry, understanding and applying the dynamics of non-Newtonian fluids are important to optimise the processes. Fundamental research explored non-Newtonian fluid dynamics through a canonicalsystem called Taylor-Couette (TC) flow, a shear flow between two concentric cylinders rotating independently. While keeping its simple geometry, the flow demonstrates the richness of complex phenomena such as instability, pattern formation or turbulence.
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)
Using native Welsh Mountain Ponies in conservation grazing, alongside strategic firebreak creation, offers a powerful naturebased solution to reduce wildfire risk, restore biodiversity, and support rural livelihoods.
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 PLANET4B research project aims to understand and influence decision making affecting biodiversity.
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 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.
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.
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.
True project aims to identify the best routes, or “transition paths” to increase sustainable legume cultivation and consumption across Europe.
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.
COACH will help coordinate strategies and disseminate good practices on how to strengthen territorial food systems and collaborative agri-food chains based on three building blocks: short food supply chains, civic food networks and sustainable public sector food procurement.
The overarching objective of this project is to draw lessons from and scale up efforts to advance Women’s Communal Land Rights in East and West Africa.
The ATTER project develops an interdisciplinary and multi-sectoral exchange program for scaling up agroecological transitions for territorial food systems.
The project is designed to reach local people who would not normally associate with landscapes and landscape management to support with knowledge transfer.
