This interdisciplinary, exploratory agenda focuses on maturing 'low carbon' innovations and policy for agroenergy and, often competing, localised social technologies in food and energy production in south Goias state and northern UK. It does so through two exploratory field visits and two subsequent collaborative pilot research periods. These pilots integrate a baseline geo-mapping survey with worker interviews to explore the implications of ethanol production in north England (from corn) and south Goias (from sugarcane) for the availability and quality of work, of water and of land for food production. These sites are of local, regional and global economic and environmental significance. Secondly, two component case studies of local, participative and potentially socially, environmentally and financially sustainable approaches to food and energy production will be drawn from coastal Scotland and south Goias. These activities form the basis for two complimentary workshops, with a focus on policy and technical innovation towards enhanced social and environmental futures for food and energy production and three structured meetings between partners, senior institutional staff and students to establish and resource an enduring, interdisciplinary research agenda and collaborative postgraduate training. The process will be filmed as part of project learning and dissemination. The project stages are set out below alongside the name of the individual applicant with responsibility for each.Rationale: BP investment in agrofuel in UK and Brazil typifies recent market diversification by hydrocarbon/0etrochemical majors, and the issues regarding designated technologies: further market capture and concentration may have implications for work and natural resource allocation, while the socio and bio-diverse impacts of food conversion to energy crops remain under analysed. Secondly, Scotland's impressive record as an EU leader in renewable energy and stated aim to attain energy self-sufficiency from renewable resources by 2020 rests heavily on wind and water. Resource scarcity has forced islanders into innovating and maintaining community owned, sustainable energy alternatives leading to repopulation. Furthermore, in its coastal, rural areas short supply chains and low tillage have been among distinct and instructive survival and policy strategies of small farmers and their associations. Activity: Three day Spring school on 'human and physical resources in the production of renewable energy' with UFG visitors, staff and students of Dept CEE, Dept HRM, Technology and Innovation Centre, existing research partners from Poland and Hungary and stakeholders from public, commercial and social sectors.

这个跨学科的探索性议程侧重于成熟的“低碳”创新和农业能源政策，以及在戈亚斯州南部和英国北部的粮食和能源生产中经常竞争的本地化社会技术。它通过两次探索性实地访问和随后的两个合作试点研究期来实现这一目标。这些试点将基线地理测绘调查与工人访谈相结合，以探索英格兰北部（从玉米）和戈亚斯南部（从甘蔗）的乙醇生产对工作、水和粮食生产土地的可用性和质量的影响。这些遗址对当地、区域和全球的经济和环境都具有重要意义。第二，将从苏格兰沿海地区和南戈阿斯选取当地、参与性和可能在社会、环境和财政上可持续的粮食和能源生产方法的两个组成部分案例研究。这些活动构成了两个免费讲习班的基础，其重点是政策和技术创新，以加强粮食和能源生产的社会和环境未来，并在合作伙伴、高级机构工作人员和学生之间举行三次有组织的会议，以建立持久的跨学科研究议程和合作研究生培训。这一过程将被拍摄下来，作为项目学习和传播的一部分。下面列出了项目的各个阶段，以及每个阶段的申请人名称。理由：BP在英国和巴西的农业燃料投资代表了碳氢化合物/石化专业最近的市场多样化，以及有关指定技术的问题：进一步的市场捕获和集中可能会对工作和自然资源分配产生影响，而粮食转化为能源作物对社会和生物多样性的影响仍在分析中。其次，苏格兰作为欧盟可再生能源领域的领导者，其令人印象深刻的记录，以及到2020年实现可再生能源自给自足的目标，在很大程度上依赖于风能和水能。资源短缺迫使岛民创新和维护社区拥有的可持续能源替代品，从而导致人口重新增长。此外，在沿海和农村地区，短供应链和低耕作已成为小农及其协会独特而有益的生存和政策策略。活动：为期三天的关于“可再生能源生产中的人力和物质资源”的春季学校，与UFG的参观者，中东欧系，人力资源管理系，技术与创新中心的员工和学生，来自波兰和匈牙利的现有研究合作伙伴以及来自公共，商业和社会部门的利益相关者。（Joao和P Stewart）活动-正式合作伙伴会议活动-试点研究阶段两名研究生研究员（CEE和HRM）和一名来自UFG，由Brian Garvey （HRM）陪同。范围界定研究绘制了赫尔市乙醇生产对土地和水使用的物理影响的地理地图，提供了对该部门工人的初步采访。基于社区访谈的苏格兰沿海地区可持续粮食和能源生产发展案例研究。（B Garvey）第二阶段巴西活动- Stewart， jo<e:1> o， Garvey和UFG研究生研究员。实地考察南戈亚斯州为国内和欧盟市场扩大农业燃料生产。
