Farming for Climate Justice: Applicant Eligibility: applicants must be early career researchers in academic and other institutions (e.g. public, private or civil society) in a variety of disciplines. ECRs from academia will have received their PhD within 10 years. Researcher-practitioners or activists will have been actively engaged for 10 years with civil society networks, and are not required to have a PhD. ECRs affiliated with institutions from South Africa may be resident elsewhere, providing opportunities to bring in different country perspectives and research experiences to discussions.
Selection will be based on establishing an interdisciplinary and cross sectoral cohort relevant to the demands of policy and practice for food systems transformation. These are anticipated to be drawn from the environmental sciences (social and natural) and environmental humanities: climate, soil, seed and water sciences, ecology, social and environmental policy, planning and law; gender, sociology, human and physical geography and anthropology.
