TIGR2ESS Case Studies
In a summative brochure of over 30 case studies, we celebrate the high impact outputs which have arisen across TIGR2ESS’ interdisciplinary fundamental science and societal research. This can be accessed as a single document, or via the menu of case studies below.
The case studies give an overview of the outputs of this research, which include policies adopted to promote water conservation; marketing diversification; female entrepreneurship; education for food and nutritional security in communities most vulnerable to climate change; advances in our understanding of crop diversity and varietal traits, and new ideas, informed by social science and archaeology, on how to manage water resources.
We have divided the case studies into five thematic areas which capture the integrated outputs of the programme. Please click on the menu bars below to find links to the case studies for each theme:
