Project

Upscaling private and collective water storage for robust agricultural systems (UPWAS)

Based on a design-oriented, co-learning living labs approach, this project aims to co-develop inter- and trans-disciplinary insights and tools that support farmers, Waterboards, Provincial Governments and other public and private stakeholders in the Netherlands in the process of upscaling private and collective water storage for robust agricultural systems. It does so by bringing together innovative insights from agricultural sciences, hydrology, law and governance studies with knowledge from day-to-day practices on the ground. It does so by using diverse participatory and iterative modelling and visualisation tools for multiscale scenario development to develop innovation pathways for agricultural and governance innovation.
