- My Thesis' Abstract
Jennifer’s current research examines the expansion of biofuels through a resilience lens, using a case study in Ethiopia. This work examines the impacts of sugarcane expansion and ethanol production on food security, livelihoods and the environment using interdisciplinary methods. Investigating these issues at the appropriate scales allows conclusions about the resilience of the national system to be made and the differentiated impacts on actors to be highlighted. To allow a whole system analysis, Jennifer’s PhD also incorporates studies regarding the consumption of ethanol within Ethiopia, focusing on the use of ethanol stoves in the home. Her PhD is titled “The impacts of biofuel expansion on the resilience of social-ecological systems in Ethiopia” and will be completed in Spring 2013.
