Sustainability Development and Food Security Research Cluster

The Sustainability Development and Food Security Research Cluster is a multi-disciplinary group who are exploring global issues, themes and debates around human security, food sustainability, food consumption, communication, gender and human rights.

They are analysing the socio-political and economic transformations of various processes and their impact on the development of communities, groups, states and society.

In the process they engage a wide range of perspectives including Government policy initiatives, industry practice and action in civil society with the aim of contributing to a more sustainable and socially just world. 

The scholars in this Cluster encompass a range of traditional academic areas and hence they are able to provide a trans-discipline perspective in their dialogue with the public, private and not-for-profit sectors.

The Research themes for 2011 are International Development, Human Security, and Food Communities.
