Transforming policy and practice towards agroecological transitions for resilient and just food and farming systems in a changing climate

The purpose of our Challenge Workshops is to develop an interdisciplinary network of ECRs in South Africa (SA) and UK specialising in food and farming systems transformation in an era of acute climate uncertainty.

AGROECOLOGY PARTNERSHIP

AGROECOLOGY PARTNERSHIP is an ambitious, large scale European research and innovation initiative between the European Commission and 26 member states, with a total of 111 university and multi-actor partners from 31 countries.

Thriving Hive

Beautiful places as contested spaces

Examining the potential effect of Welsh Governments new landscape management schemes on the economic, environmental and cultural activities and values of Cambrian Mountain Range residents and stakeholders.

Gaza Foodways: Towards Resilient Women-led Urban Agroecological Food Systems as a Pathway to Women's Economic Empowerment

Gaza Foodways is a transdisciplinary research collaboration to contribute toward a ‘just transition’ to diversified low-carbon urban food and farming systems.

Urbanising in Place. Building the Food-Water-Energy Nexus from Below (UiP)

Exploring the physical and metabolic context, scenarios for economic valorisation and political processes that can enable alternative metabolic capabilities, and specific practices and configurations that food growing communities could develop to regain control over resources.

Managing Ash Dieback Disease

This project aims to identify whether factors associated with soil health influence ash tree susceptibility to ash dieback disease.

TERRA Project: Advancing Health-Based Solutions for Agroecological Wheat Production

The objective of the TERRA Project is to develop agronomical trials to test the effects of DHDs as an agroecological method to support wheat plants subjected to hydric stress.

Waste Food-Energy-Water Urban Living Labs - mapping and reducing waste in the food-energy-water nexus

We aim to map and substantially reduce waste in the urban food-energy-water (FEW) nexus in city-regions across three continents: Europe, Africa and South America. We will establish four Urban Living Labs (ULL) of key stakeholders who will undertake participatory research to: a) map resource flows; b) identify critical dysfunctional linear pathways; c) agree the response most appropriate to the local context (e.g. policy intervention, technology diffusion); d) model the market and non-market economic value of each intervention; and e) engage with decision makers to close each loop.
