Practice to Policy in Social-Ecological Systems: Food Rescue, Regenerative Agriculture, and Environmental Education / Lee Frankel-Goldwater.
In transitioning society towards sustainability, especially in a time of political upheaval and divide, it is necessary to consider how practitioner insights can inform wide-scale decision-making across a range of contexts. Scientific knowledge can play an important role in these efforts. Research a...

| 520 | |a In transitioning society towards sustainability, especially in a time of political upheaval and divide, it is necessary to consider how practitioner insights can inform wide-scale decision-making across a range of contexts. Scientific knowledge can play an important role in these efforts. Research at the 'science-policy-practice interface,' highlights the vital role of practice in contributing to science and policy, as well as the ways policy and science can inform practice. However, important knowledge gaps remain. Through this dissertation, I have explored the relationships between science, policy-making, and practice in the context of social-ecological systems in three novel ways. The first was through a community-based research project with Boulder Food Rescue (BFR). Through this project I served in the role of community-based researcher, working with BFR to understand how program participants engaged in decision-making to support agency, food security, and organizational planning. I showed that the combination of BFR's organizational culture and opportunities to participate in decision-making led to improvements in food access for some participants. My second paper explored how relational values informed the adoption of regenerative agriculture. To do so, I interviewed farmers and ranchers practicing regenerative agriculture in the United States. I found that desires to support the health of communities, soils, and ecosystems was a primary driver for adoption among these practitioners. My third paper was a critical discourse analysis of the environmental education (EE) literature, asking how "critically aware" teaching, learning, and research may inform more inclusive EE policy narratives locally and globally. I showed that the literature can be characterized as presenting relatively little about EE in non-formal settings (e.g., communities and livelihoods), when compared with formal settings (e.g., schools). I designed each paper as an example of social-ecological research that may inform decision-making guided by practitioner perspectives. This embodies the "practice to policy" angle of my work at the science-policy-practice interface. Each paper also represents a different methodological approach at this interface. My hope is to support future efforts for more effective, wide-scale transitions to sustainability guided by the insights of local practitioners who are engaged in this work. | ||
