Description (French)
Ce projet établira une collaboration de trois ans entre l'Université Thompson Rivers et l'Université de Colombo, au Sri Lanka. Cela permettra aux chercheurs de la région indo-pacifique de renforcer leur collaboration grâce au soutien d'un important projet de recherche sur la sécurité alimentaire. La première année, le projet réalisera une revue de la littérature, concevra des enquêtes et organisera une conférence au Sri Lanka en décembre 2025. La deuxième année, la recherche s'étendra à d'autres pays d'Asie du Sud et une conférence hybride sera organisée au Canada, avec des activités de diffusion continues. La troisième année sera consacrée à la poursuite de la diffusion et à la création d'un groupe de travail sur la sécurité alimentaire dans la région indo-pacifique pour les recherches futures. La publication des actes de la conférence en open source ainsi que deux articles d'opinion seront publiés dans les principaux médias au Sri Lanka et au Canada, un manuscrit coécrit et évalué par des pairs sera soumis
