STEM Training for Actionable Research and Global Impact

About

Poor communities often face extreme challenges accessing nutritious food, clean and reliable energy, and safe water, which will be amplified with additional climate variability, population growth, stress on infrastructures, and pollution in the future.

InFEWS (Innovations at the Nexus of Food, Energy, and Water Systems) supported a new generation of students working at the critical juncture of food, energy, and water. These students mastered the interdisciplinary skills needed to create actionable and impactful research that is transferable from the lab to the field at scale and to ultimately make real lives better.
