REWORLDING the “REAL WORLD”

Community-led Interventions in Food and Human Settlement Innovation

ABÔDE R+D is proud to offer and embed in our practice a PhD scholarship supporting research and development projects that prioritize community and environmental benefit in the valuation of land and water use.

Our current project, Reworlding the Real World: Community-led Interventions in Food and Human Settlement Innovation, explores how minoritized or lower-income community members can more effectively advocate and collaborate on projects intersecting food and housing system innovation.
