| Copy Link | |
| Coordinating organisation: | South Asia Institute |
| Description: | The project focuses on four basic objectives. First, food security research in selected rural areas will be carried out, with a regional focus on food-insecure villages and populations in the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka who are affected by the civil war. In this context, food systems analyses will be undertaken by integrating aspects of food production, food distribution and food consumption. Secondly, the project seeks to systematically link perspectives of food security research and conflict analysis. Thirdly, the project will contribute to the current political discussion on crisis prevention and conflict management. Fourthly, the research capacity and the scientific efficiency of the Eastern University of Sri Lanka will be strengthened, by organising visits of scientific staff from Colombo University to the Eastern Province and by systematically integrating and promoting young scientists of the Eastern University in the field of empirical social research, in general, and food security and conflict analysis, in particular. |
