Australian-India Virtual Program on Land and Water Conservation

The aim of the program was on transdisciplinary approaches to farming systems. Our inter-RCE initiative, the “Australia-India Land and Water Conservation Virtual Program”, was co-led, co-designed and co-taught by WSU’s Sustainability Education (RCE-GWS) with academics from the School of Science, in partnership with Centre for Environmental Education (RCE Lucknow) and the Australia-India Water Centre. The overaching learning outcomes for the program were:
– develop an understanding and appreciation of sustainability issues and complexity as they relate to concerns of farming practices in Australia and India.
– interpret and critically investigate real agricultural issues linked to poverty, hunger, livelihood, biodiversity and climate change in view of Sustainable Development Goals (Goals 2, 10, 13 and 15)
– identify needs of education and action through a virtual research project in a small student team.
