Some of AllFed’s theory of change comes from change in government policy, through increasing resilience of food production to large risks. I am sceptical of the ability of research conducted by generalists outside of the academic system to be effective in this goal. Is there another way that Allfed is aiming to cause change, or is volunteer research helpful for another reason, providing ideas and analysis for more credible (to govts.) to compile
Thanks for your feedback. People inside the academic system (Joshua Pearce and myself) are advising most of this research and we publish mostly in peer reviewed journals. As for the policy engagement, we are working with government experts such as Tim Benton. You can see some of our recent policy-related work here.
