Our Global FEWture: Cultivating Food-Energy-Water Solutions
This course focuses on the Food-Energy-Water (FEW) nexus as an example of integrated systems thinking in science that can resolve resource gaps and help communities plan for the future. Through a series of four modules, learners will view lectures on the nexus approach, the challenges of climate change to FEW resources, specific challenges and programs from four global locations, and a survey of diverse technologies and solutions that are essential to providing enough food, energy, and water for current and future generations.
Learners will complete short multiple choice content quizzes, and short answer reflective essays on the topics, all with an aim to educate and empower learners to pursue FEW nexus solutions in their own communities.
