## In short

Van Dongen uses a DSRP-informed method to structure how secondary-school students analyse and evaluate systems of provisioning through multiple social, ecological, and economic lenses.

## What they found (results)

Students evaluate any provisioning system through three lenses — social access and affordability, ecological impact, and economic security of supply — in a method the author describes as DSRP-informed.

## What they set out to do (purpose)

The second part of a series on teaching economics through systems of provisioning, using water as its running example.

These researchers were not testing DSRP. The finding is theirs; the correspondence to DSRP is drawn by this site.
