PhD title: Growing green in UK vineyards: Managing Knowledge

Ebba Engstrom is a PhD student based at the Centre for Environmental Policy, where they explore the sustainability impacts of green infrastructure in vineyards in the UK and knowledge management surrounding these structures. More precisely, the project has explored the perceived and experienced multi-dimensional sustainability impacts of green infrastructures in UK vineyards, and is currently investigating knowledge acquisition and learning surrounding these elements among UK winegrowers. It is intended for the project to increase the understanding of the experiences of green infrastructures in winegrowing contexts, and to better support the development of learning related to the topic in the UK wine industry. The project holds strong policy relevance, especially in the current UK context with roll-out of the Environmental Land Management schemes, as knowledge and learning hold a key role in shaping agriculturists' practices.
