Interested in Food? Thinking about honours?

The Urban Research Program is offering an honours scholarship worth $1250 for a student interested in undertaking their honours project in 2010.

This scholarship will be made available to an honours student to examine critical questions related to the future of food and agriculture in Australia. Research questions for this project could include: challenges and prospects for securing urban Australia’s food supply, with a case study of south-east Queensland; strategies of urban-based food movements; policy and planning for food security; and the impacts of climate change for urban food security.

Honours students will become a member of the newly formed Food Research Group, housed within the Urban Research Program at Griffith University. The Food Research Group will hold regular meetings and seminars, all of which will support students in their research.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Please contact Kristen Lyons to apply.
