This project will aim to improve the resilience of small-scale farmers in Malawi, Kenya and/or Ghana to natural shocks which may threaten their food and water security. With climate change, growing populations and more demand for food and water, resilience needs to be strengthened if development is to continue. Understanding the link between water and food security with resilience is incredibly complex, and knowledge gaps need to be filled so that policies resource management practises can be implemented. The use of technology and traditional management to increase resilience will be studied, as will the role institutions play in strengthening food and water security. This project will be interdisciplinary, with both qualitative and quantitative research being undertaken, though the former will be mostly used. The research will be undertaken alongside collaborators in the three countries, who will be able to provide invaluable local knowledge.

该项目旨在提高马拉维、肯尼亚和/或加纳小农户对可能威胁其粮食和水安全的自然冲击的复原力。随着气候变化、人口增长以及对粮食和水的需求增加，如果要继续发展，就需要加强复原力。理解水和粮食安全与复原力之间的联系是非常复杂的，需要填补知识空白，以便能够实施资源管理政策。将研究如何利用技术和传统管理来提高复原力，以及各机构在加强粮食和水安全方面的作用。该项目将是跨学科的，将进行定性和定量研究，但前者将主要使用。这项研究将与这三个国家的合作者一起进行，他们将能够提供宝贵的当地知识。
