Smart Cities and Connected Communities: A Workshop Bridging Rural, Peri-Urban and Urban Sustainability

这是一个由国家科学基金会与国家粮食和农业研究所联合主办的研讨会。“智能城市与互联社区：连接农村、城市周边和城市可持续发展的研讨会”汇聚了科学、技术、社区和经济发展领域的领导者，以确定在智能和互联社区的背景下应对粮食生产和分配可持续性挑战的研究挑战。其中一些挑战包括通过高产量和有弹性的当地农业技术和系统提高粮食和营养安全。研讨会的议程包括全体会议和有针对性的短期会谈以及分组会议。要解决的关键问题包括：a)农村、城市周边和城市社区在建设智能、互联和可持续社区方面面临哪些共性/差异？b)存在哪些专注于粮食系统安全和营养安全的互联社区的例子，我们从他们那里学到了什么？c)哪些战略将有效地提高互联农业社区的弹性和可靠性？d)可以参考哪些措施来评估朝着智能、互联和可持续社区发展的进展？在我们展望未来建立连接城乡环境的智能互联社区时，对这些具体问题的讨论将有助于为新的研究战略提供信息。

This is a workshop sponsored by the National Science Foundation in conjunction with the National Institute of Food and Agriculture. The workshop, "Smart Cities and Connected Communities: A workshop bridging rural, peri-urban, and urban sustainability" brings together leaders in science, technology, and community and economic development to identify research challenges addressing challenges in sustainability in food production and distribution in the context of smart and connected communities. Some of these challenges include increased food and nutritional security through high output and resilient local agriculture technologies and systems.The workshop agenda includes a mixture of plenary and targeted short talks, and breakout sessions. Key questions to be addressed include:a) What are the commonalties/differences that rural, peri-urban, and urban communities face in buildingsmart, connected, and sustainable communities?b) What examples of connected communities focused on food systems security and nutritional securityexist, and what have we learned from them?c) What strategies will meaningfully increase the resilience and reliability of connected agriculturalcommunities?d) What measures can be consulted to assess progress toward smart, connected and sustainablecommunities?Discussion on these specific questions will help inform new research strategies as we look towards building future smart and connected communities bridging rural and urban settings.
