This proposal addresses a multidisciplinary workshop with academic researchers, corporate technology providers, and agricultural producers to define research challenges and a research road-map to address the following major FEWS challenges:1)Developing novel targeted remote sensing and in-situ sensing technology that can be practically fielded and used in food and water system management.2)Developing novel integrated hydrology, soil, microclimate, and plant/agricultural production models that interact accurately and across traditional scales for understanding local, regional, and national impacts.3)Turning this developing and pending FEWS data deluge into usable, actionable information for agricultural producers, local and regional decision makers, and citizens.The workshop addresses the emerging issues in the food/water/energy system throughout the diverse geography of United States and over various crops and environmental conditions to better understand and model, and ultimate devise a solution for the changes to the FEWS system. The solution must be multifaceted, multidisciplinary in order to incorporate sensing, hydrology, visual analytics, and the potential for increased climate change. The workshop will generate a report and other artifacts that will lead to research into solving these challenges and have an impact on scientific fields including, sensing technology, hydrology, soil science, climate, data fusion, analysis, visualization, and data driven decision making, as well as agricultural production, local and regional economies, sustainability and planning.

该提案涉及与学术研究人员，企业技术提供者和农业生产者的多学科研讨会，以确定研究挑战和研究路线图，以解决以下主要FEWS挑战：1）开发新的有针对性的遥感和原位传感技术，可以实际部署和用于粮食和水系统管理。2）开发新的综合水文，土壤，小气候和植物/农业生产模型，这些模型准确地相互作用，并跨越传统尺度，以了解当地，区域，3）将这些正在开发和等待的FEWS数据洪水转化为农业生产者、地方和区域决策者可用的、可操作的信息，讲习班讨论了粮食/水/粮食安全领域新出现的问题，能源系统在整个美国的不同地理和各种作物和环境条件，以更好地了解和建模，并最终为FEWS系统的变化设计出解决方案。解决方案必须是多方面的，多学科的，以纳入传感，水文，可视化分析和增加气候变化的潜力。研讨会将产生一份报告和其他工件，这将导致研究解决这些挑战，并对科学领域产生影响，包括传感技术，水文学，土壤科学，气候，数据融合，分析，可视化和数据驱动的决策，以及农业生产，地方和区域经济，可持续性和规划。
