This problem is a UK government area of research interest (ARI) that was originally posted at https://ari.org.uk/ by a UK government organisation to indicate that they are keen to see research related to this area.
How can we balance devolved responsibilities with the need to avoid a weakening of national guidelines/ standards?
The research areas identified in this document rely on a wide range of research tools and approaches, spanning disciplines across the sciences and social sciences. This section is not an exhaustive list of the tools and approaches of interest to Defra. It identifies some areas of particular relevance and change, which will be important in addressing the challenges faced by Defra and represented throughout this document.
Societies demand resource from the environment and shape that environment. The social science of human-nature interactions is of fundamental importance to Defra.
