My research will be done in conjunction with CIAT – the International Centre for Tropical Agriculture, based in Hanoi, Vietnam. During my allocated research time I hope to gain an insight into different coconut producers and farming systems in the Philippines. In particular I hope to understand more about what conditions cause farmers to move into, stagnate, thrive and move out of coconut production. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
CIAT are working on developing their own project on scaling cacao-coconut intercrop. The work that I undertake over the course of my research project will not only be used for my own academic grading, but it will also go towards the development of a 400 household questionnaire targeting coconut producers which will be carried out by CIAT colleagues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Working with a team of experienced researchers is something that excites me and I hope to learn lots in the months ahead. Desk research is not what I first imagined myself being involved in but I have developed a newly evoked motivation to learn new skills through this research method and I hope to become more knowledgeable in this area as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
