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 FOOdIVERSE project aims to produce practice-oriented knowledge on how diversity in diets, novel food supply chains and food governance contributes to more organic and sustainable food systems.
The aim of this two year KTP project is to investigate the value of water managed green infrastructure in urban areas to improve biodiversity.
Agroecology Now! is a research, action and communications project convened by the Centre for Agroecology, Water and Resilience that focuses on understanding and supporting the societal transformations necessary to enable agroecology as a model for sustainable and just food systems.
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).
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.
Marginalised women-led smallholder farmers who rely on livestock for nutrition, income, and as a safety net, often have limited capacity to mitigate climate change impacts on livestock productivity.
Adopting a holistic and multi-actor approach, HOMED aims to develop a full panel of scientific knowledge and practical solutions for the management of emerging native and non-native pests and pathogens threatening European forests.
KEEPFISH is a Marie Curie RISE project that brings together an international team of biologists, engineers and interdisciplinary researchers. It is led by the Centre for Agroecology, Water and Resilience at Coventry University.
True project aims to identify the best routes, or “transition paths” to increase sustainable legume cultivation and consumption across Europe.
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.
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.
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 aim of our study is to find out why pregnant women spend time in prison, on remand, on recall from licence conditions and on sentence.
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 project aims to fill the scientific knowledge gap in peat-free plant production in ornamental horticulture.
This research aims to assess the impact of this policy change on farmers through environmental, technical and economic perspectives.
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.
To critically evaluate the conditions in which place-based public food procurement networks, utilising open-source socio-technical innovations can scale to deliver the transformative changes needed for socially just transitions in food systems.
This pilot project will explore spatial transitions and relational transformations experienced by animals due to interventions in their lives by humans
