Getting Started

Over recent weeks I have begun working on my literature review which will be included in my finished thesis. I have been exploring research and literature related to the subjects my research project will be based on. I have received a rough description of my project and most importantly the title of my project!

Although subject to change, the current title of my project is; “Assessing the potential of Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) in reducing air pollution in Southeast Asia”. I am rather excited to begin this project and I believe it will tie in nicely with my undergraduate programme, BA Planning, Geography & Environmental Policy. The objective of my project is to assess the potential of improved farm practices implementation, contributing to reduced air pollution in Southeast Asian cities and mitigation of greenhouse gases.

Although this is a rather complex and intricate topic, I believe it will allow me to develop numerous skills that I have been introduced to over the course of the Masters programme.

I thought I would just post an update of my progress and get started on what is sure to be an interesting and informative blog. Anyway, I must get back to work. I’ll be sure to post again soon!
