Using the intersection between the sugar cane industry and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park as a case study, this project aims to investigate the effectiveness of socially engaged art in intervening in the social dimensions of a complex environmental management problem. What are the barriers to behavioural change in agricultural land use within reef catchment areas? How can socially engaged art catalyse new dialogue between farmers, scientists, environmentalists and policy makers? And how might these discoveries be more widely applicable? Results of the project may inform transformations in farming practices, the establishment of a geographical provenance system for sugar, and a deeper public awareness of the human impact of agriculture on the reef.

本项目以甘蔗产业与大堡礁海洋公园之间的交叉点为案例研究，旨在探讨社会参与艺术在干预复杂环境管理问题的社会层面方面的有效性。在珊瑚礁集水区内农业土地使用行为改变的障碍是什么？社会参与艺术如何促进农民、科学家、环保主义者和政策制定者之间的新对话？这些发现如何更广泛地应用？该项目的结果可能会为农业实践的转变提供信息，建立糖的地理来源系统，并加深公众对农业对珊瑚礁的影响的认识。
