2017 FEW Nexus Summit: Integrated Science, Engineering, and Policy: a Multi Stakeholder Dialogue

FEW综合科学、工程和政策研讨会：多方利益相关者对话第1部分：非技术性描述对能源和食品日益增长的需求明确了更好地管理我们有限的食品、能源和水资源（FEW）的必要性。农业、能源生产、家庭和工业用水之间对水的竞争继续加剧，导致水资源短缺和必须解决的权衡问题。虽然水资源短缺可以通过废水再利用和海水淡化厂得到部分解决，但这些方法及其技术对我们土壤的质量和健康构成了不明确的威胁，全球30%的淡水储存在土壤中。综合资源管理是这些紧密相连的基本资源的一个重要工具：必须界定和量化这些资源的相互联系（少数几个资源的联系），以便全面了解对这些资源的管理和使用作出不同选择所产生的利弊。该研讨会将提高未来研究的整合水平，培养国家研究团队，并建立在对创建食品-能源-水科学社区的投资基础上。 它将汇集在少数资源的主要利益相关者与科学，工程和政策学科的教师，以帮助确定替代用途之间的系统级冲突，并提供对少数网络社区的研究议程的投入。这将有助于促进科学和工程学科之间的新合作，以便在地方、国家和国际各级更可持续地管理少数水资源，以应对社会挑战。技术说明：研讨会的总体目标是巩固FEW Nexus科学社区，并为FEW Nexus生物物理学创建一个国家平台，社会和政策研究，以应对少数妇女网络背景下的主要挑战。研讨会的主要成果之一将是确定新的研究和数据收集方法，以加强纵向研究，模拟和监测与复原力、脆弱性和减少风险有关的进程。在关系层面的工作组将建立协同研究小组，以制定联合少数几个研究提案提交给国家和国际供资机构。这些小组将制定一个关于科学、政策、技术和教育问题的共同Nexus路线图，这些问题对FEW资源的可持续管理至关重要。这样一个路线图对于适当规划和理解少数几种资源之间的权衡至关重要。该路线图将通过一个便于访问的电子门户网站制定，该门户网站旨在促进今后与利益攸关方的接触，并将知识转化为行动。它还将成为进一步调查的基础，提供对新知识产生的洞察力，作为其实施的结果。FEW Nexus科学社区将提供一个平台，Nexus社区将在此平台上分享和交流想法，借鉴国际、国家和地方FEW Nexus的努力，并促进交流想法和发展共享数据和信息的伙伴关系。这将为未来的FEW Nexus研究奠定基础，并使公共、私营和科学部门的利益攸关方能够参与研究，为决策和政策制定提供信息。

FEW Nexus Workshop on Integrated Science, Engineering, and Policy: A Multi Stakeholder DialoguePart 1: Non-Technical Description.The growing demands for energy and food make clear the necessity of better management of our limited food, energy, and water (FEW) resources. Competition for water continues to grow among agriculture, energy production, domestic and industrial uses, leading to water shortages and tradeoffs that have to be addressed. While water deficits can be partially met through wastewater reuse and desalination plants, these methods and their technologies carry unclear threats to the quality and health of our soils, wherein 30 percent of global freshwater is stored. Integrated resources management is an essential tool for these tightly interconnected, essential resources: their interlinkages (the FEW Nexus) must be defined and quantified to enable a holistic understanding of the tradeoffs resulting from different choices about their management and use. This workshop will improve the level of integration of future research, foster national research teams, and build on the investments made toward the creation of a Food-Energy-Water community of science. It will bring together leading stakeholders in the FEW resources Nexus with faculty in science, engineering, and policy disciplines to help identify systems-level conflicts among alternative uses and provide input on the research agenda of the FEW Nexus community. This will help foster new cooperation among science and engineering disciplines for more sustainable management of FEW resources at local, national and international levels to address societal challenges.Part 2: Technical Description.The overall workshop goal is the consolidation of a FEW Nexus Community of Science and creation of a national platform for FEW nexus biophysical, social and policy research to address key challenges in the context of the FEW Nexus. Among the primary workshop outcomes will be the identification of new research and data collection approaches to enhance longitudinal research to model and monitor the processes associated with resilience, vulnerability, and risk reduction. Working groups in the nexus dimensions will establish synergistic research teams to develop joint FEW research proposals for submission to national and international funding agencies. These groups will develop a common Nexus roadmap of science, policy, technology, and education issues critical to the sustainable management of FEW resources. Such a road map is essential for the proper planning and understanding of the tradeoffs among FEW resources. This road map will be developed through an accessible e-portal that is designed to facilitate future engagement with stakeholders and translate knowledge into action. It will also become the foundation of further investigations by providing insight toward new knowledge generated as a result of its implementation. The FEW Nexus community of science will provide a platform from which the Nexus community will share and exchange ideas, draw on international, national, and local FEW nexus efforts, and facilitate the exchange of ideas and development of partnerships for sharing data and information. This will lay the foundation for future FEW Nexus research and allow public, private and scientific sector stakeholders to participate in research to inform decision and policy making.
