MSc by Research in Agroecology, Water and Resilience in Coventry United Kingdom | Coventry University

We seek exceptionally skilled, driven, and innovative researchers passionate about addressing emerging challenges related to global sustainable food systems, food governance frameworks, technological and societal dimensions of food production, water cycle dynamics, eco-hydrological systems, water purification solutions, and community adaptation strategies for climate resilience.

The Centre for Agroecology, Water and Resilience (CAWR) pioneers groundbreaking, interdisciplinary studies focused on advancing robust food and water systems worldwide.

Growing threats like climate shifts, biodiversity loss, geopolitical conflicts, and market instability are jeopardizing global food and water security. Innovative solutions, policies, and technologies must be developed to create systems capable of withstanding disruptions while safeguarding our essential resources. Resilient frameworks demonstrate greater capacity to recover from both gradual transformations and sudden crises—whether natural phenomena like floods or human-induced challenges such as warfare or contamination events.

By concentrating on food and water systems, the Centre's research synthesizes novel insights across social, agricultural, hydrological, and environmental domains, while emphasizing communities' crucial role in fostering resilience. A distinctive feature of our approach involves integrating citizen science—actively engaging farmers, water stakeholders, and community members in cross-disciplinary research that transcends traditional academic boundaries. CAWR also strives to push the frontiers of resilience science by tackling critical contemporary issues including food system governance, water cycle transformations, urban hydrology, fluvial processes, water purity, and emerging contaminants.
