An international team led by UBC researchers will study five case studies across five continents to model a range of solutions to an urgent question: how can we feed everyone on Earth, and those to come, sustainably?
An international team led by UBC researchers will study five case studies across five continents to model a range of solutions to an urgent question: how can we feed everyone on Earth, and those to come, sustainably?
The Solving Food-Climate-Biodiversity (FCB) project, led by Dr. William Cheung, professor in UBC’s Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries (IOF), focuses on the Earth’s capacity to sustain life and support human wellbeing, food security, climate mitigation, and safeguarding biodiversity. The project has received $2.5 million in funding from a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council partnership grant today, with a further $2.8 million contributed by partner organizations.
The international project team spanning 10 countries will spend the next six years co-developing solutions with researchers, knowledge-holders and policy-makers to achieve sustainable and desirable futures for Earth’s strained global ecosystems. These ecosystems continue to be vulnerable to increased demands from rising populations and food security, decreased biodiversity and climate change.
