Funded Activity Summary

Catalysing collective action for effective weed management . Weeds are a major threat to the sustainability of rural ecosystems and industries. Current policies call for communities to act collectively to manage weeds, but there is little empirical evidence about such processes and their benefits. This project aims to produce pioneering knowledge about how communities collectively manage weeds and the benefits for rural sustainability. It will conduct the first extensive comparative case study of self-organising weed management initiatives, pilot a new analytic method and advance theory that can explain effective collective management of weeds. Expected outcomes include evidence-based strategies and guidelines that support communities and governments to expand and enhance rural collective action.
