Environmental Change
Global environmental change poses challenges to security, prosperity and social justice. Sié Center faculty member Cullen Hendrix has led projects both individually and in partnership with Dr. Sarah Glaser and One Earth Future to examine how climate change threatens security, conflict around fisheries and conflict around food security.
Featured Projects
Fisheries and Conflict
The world's fisheries are the main source of protein for one billion people and provide income for over 43.5 million, of which 95 percent live in developing countries. Led by Professor Cullen Hendrix, this project is a collaboration with Dr. Sarah Glaser, Secure Fisheries, and One Earth Future. This project aims to quantify the impacts of civil conflict on fish catch, the feedback between aquatic population dynamics, local markets and food security, and model developing country fisheries as coupled natural human systems.
Food Security, Conflict and the Global Economy
Food insecurity emerges from the complex interplay of poverty, barriers to access, and local and global markets, but also from specific policies enacted by governments. Professor Cullen Hendrix’s work addresses the roles that international markets, conflict and government policy play in creating food insecurity, as well as roles for the international community and development organizations in combating it.
