New Post…er and Presentation coming up!

With the thesis handed in, it is now time to focus on creating a poster and presentation for the symposium on Monday. It is hard to believe that this time last year I was starting the course, the time absolutely flew! The course has opened my eyes to aspects of climate change, agriculture and food security that I never thought about and has significantly increased my desire to work with organisations that are for positive change, especially for the resilience of vulnerable populations which my thesis was so focused on. The results of my thesis has also brought environmental policies to the forefront of my mind. Through effective governance and cooperation and collaboration amongst institutions and agencies, greater change can happen when working as one team. Resilience is measured at different aspects along a continuum of incremental changes. By analysing the project documents for WFP and IFAD it is evident that there are many important themes which recur in building adaptive capacity. A focus on social inclusion by incorporating marginalised groups into project activities and identifying common challenges faced during climate change will enable a more productive, sustainable environment and agricultural sector.

I am looking forward to seeing all my classmates and catching up with them to see how they got on over the summer!
