摘要在气候变化下满足社会对粮食、生物制品和水的需求，可能会对美国中西部的玉米-大豆农业构成极大的挑战，玉米-大豆农业是一种全球重要的资源。需要新的农业系统来应对这一挑战。水管理工程和种植制度多样化方面的创新可能提供一条前进的道路，使之能够转变为高度多功能的农业流域，扩大农业生产和向社会提供与水有关的服务，并在农业和水系统中提供可扩展的气候适应单位。这种分水岭的实施和完善需要相应的社会创新，以建立经济、政治和文化方面的支持性社会制度。一系列新出现的社会创新可以通过促进多个社会部门和规模的强有力的合作、资源交换和协调创新，推动出现高度多功能的农业分水岭。我们重点介绍了相关创新和在中西部探索性实施和完善的机会。
Abstract Meeting the societal demand for food, bioproducts and water under climate change is likely to greatly challenge the maize-soybean agriculture of the Midwest USA, which is a globally significant resource. New agricultural systems are needed that can meet this challenge. Innovations in water management engineering and cropping system diversification may provide a way forward, enabling transformation to highly multifunctional agricultural watersheds that expand both agricultural production and water-related services to society, and which provide scalable units of climate adaptation in agriculture and water systems. Implementation and refinement of such watersheds require corresponding social innovation to create supportive social systems, in economic, political and cultural terms. A range of emerging social innovations can drive the emergence of highly multifunctional agricultural watersheds, by enabling robust cooperation, resource exchange and coordinated innovation across multiple societal sectors and scales. We highlight relevant innovations and opportunities for their exploratory implementation and refinement in the Midwest.
