Description
The
overarching goal of Innovations at the Nexus of Food, Energy and Water Systems
(INFEWS) is to catalyze well-integrated interdisciplinary and convergent
research to transform scientific understanding of the FEW nexus (integrating
all three components rather than addressing them separately), in order to
improve system function and management, address system stress, increase
resilience, and ensure sustainability. The NSF INFEWS initiative is designed
specifically to attain the following goals: (1) Significantly advance our
understanding of the food-energy-water system through quantitative, predictive
and computational modeling, including support for relevant cyberinfrastructure;
(2) Develop real-time, cyber-enabled interfaces that improve understanding of
the behavior of FEW systems and increase decision support capability; (3)
Enable research that will lead to innovative solutions to critical FEW systems
problems; and (4) Grow the scientific workforce capable of studying and
managing the FEW system, through education and other professional development
opportunities.
