To Investigate The Health Benefits Gained Through Employment In Land And Sea Management Ventures.
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$71,003.00
Summary
Indigenous people have extensive knowledge of sustainable land and sea management. We hypothesise that there are greater health benefits gained through employment in land and sea management ventures, and their families, than employment which does not utilise traditional knowledge. This study will give qualitative and quantitative feedback of ground level application of this relatively new employment venture and recognition of the wealth of Indigenous knowledge.
