Many cities across the globe are facing difficult challenges managing their food, water and energy systems. The challenges stem from the fact that the issues of food, water and energy are often tightly connected with each other, not only locally but also globally. This is known as the Food-Water-Energy (FWE) nexus. An effective solution to a local water problem may cause new local problems with food or energy, or cause new water problems at the global level. On a local scale, it is difficult to anticipate whether solutions to one issue in the nexus are sustainable across food, water and energy systems, both at the local and the global scale. Innovative solutions that encompass the nexus are particularly important to enable cities to better manage their food, water and energy systems and understand the benefits and tradeoffs for different solutions. This award supports U.S. researchers participating in a project competitively selected by a 29-country initiative through the joint Belmont Forum- Joint Programming Initiative (JPI) Urban Europe. The Sustainable Urbanization Global Initiative (SUGI)/Food-Water-Energy Nexus is a multilateral initiative designed to support research projects that bring together the fragmented research and expertise across the globe to find innovative solutions to the Food-Water-Energy Nexus challenge. The call seeks to develop more resilient, applied urban solutions to benefit a much wider range of stakeholders. The rapid urbanization of the world's population underscores the importance of this focus. International partners were invited to develop solutions for this challenge. The funds requested will be used to support U.S. participants to cooperate in consortia that consist of partners from at least three of the participating countries and that bring together natural scientists, social scientists and research users (e.g., civil society, NGOs, and industry). Participants from other countries are funded through their national funding organizations. This project seeks to investigate whether scaling up existing forms of urban agriculture could exacerbate pressures on food-energy-water systems (FEWs) by increasing water and energy consumption and contributing to air and water pollution. The project will employ an urban metabolism framework to create a comprehensive system to evaluate how different urban agriculture systems and practices perform with respect to food production and energy and water use and opportunities for increased efficiency. Data on the resource flows and impacts of urban agriculture will be gathered and analyzed over three years from 45 case studies in four cities in Europe (Dortmund, Gorzow, London, and Nantes) and one city in the U.S. (New York). The project uses a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, including the measurement of resource use, material flow analysis, life cycle assessment, practitioner surveys, and design methodologies.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

全球许多城市都面临着管理食物，水和能源系统的困难挑战。挑战源于这样一个事实，即食物，水和能源的问题常常相互紧密，不仅在本地，而且在全球范围内相连。这被称为食品水能（FWE）Nexus。 解决当地水问题的有效解决方案可能会导致粮食或能源的新当地问题，或在全球范围内引起新的水问题。在当地规模上，很难预见，在本地和全球范围内，跨食物，水和能源系统的一个问题解决方案是否可持续。 涵盖Nexus的创新解决方案对于使城市能够更好地管理其食品，水和能源系统并了解不同解决方案的收益和权衡特别重要。 该奖项支持参加由29个国家倡议通过联合贝尔蒙特论坛联合编程计划（JPI）Urban欧洲竞争性选择的项目。 可持续的城市化全球倡议（SUGI）/食品水能Nexus是一项多边倡议，旨在支持研究项目，将全球碎片的研究和专业知识汇集在一起​​，以找到对食品 - 能量能量的Nexus Nexus挑战的创新解决方案。 该电话旨在开发更具弹性，应用的城市解决方案，以使更多的利益相关者受益。世界人口的快速城市化强调了这一重点的重要性。邀请国际合作伙伴为这项挑战开发解决方案。 所要求的资金将用于支持美国参与者在财团中合作，这些财团由来自至少三个参与国家的合作伙伴组成，并将自然科学家，社会科学家和研究用户（例如民间社会，非政府组织和行业）汇集在一起​​。 来自其他国家的参与者是通过其国家资助组织资助的。该项目旨在调查是否扩大现有形式的城市农业形式是否会通过增加水和能源消耗并促进空气和水污染来加剧对食品能量水系统（少数）的压力。 该项目将采用城市代谢框架来创建一个全面的系统，以评估不同的城市农业系统和实践如何在粮食生产，能源和用水以及提高效率的机会方面进行。从欧洲四个城市（多特蒙德，戈尔佐夫，伦敦和南特）的45个案例研究中，将收集有关城市农业资源流量和影响的数据，并在美国（纽约）的一个城市（纽约）进行分析。该项目结合了定量和定性方法，包括资源使用的衡量，材料流量分析，生命周期评估，从业人员的调查和设计方法论。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛影响的评估来通过评估来通过评估来支持的。
