Large areas of land are needed to satisfy the food, energy, and water (FEW) needs of an increasingly populated earth. This can lead to challenging land use competition where local FEW needs cannot be met with current land use practice. For instance, in areas where solar energy is produced, standard solar panels can cast large ground shadows on agricultural land throughout the day, which greatly impedes crop growth. An urgent need exists to develop solutions for sustainable FEW systems (SFEWS) where food, energy, and water needs can be met using available land collaboratively rather than competitively. One approach could be to use the entire solar spectrum to maximize resource production from a given land area. Achieving such solutions requires effective interdisciplinary education and training to generate the resources and human capital for leadership for a sustainable solar economy. This National Science Foundation Research Traineeship (NRT) award to Purdue University and Florida A&M University will form an interdisciplinary traineeship program that will train graduate students in the skills needed to produce sustainable supplies of food, energy and water (FEW) for a more heavily populated earth. The project anticipates training 48 PhD students, including 24 funded trainees, from agronomy, agricultural and biological engineering, electrical and computer engineering, chemical engineering, materials science and engineering, chemistry, and agricultural economics.The SFEWS project aims to meet food, energy and water management needs locally with local solar energy. Achieving this state requires studying highly complex systems with previously unappreciated interdependencies and then developing innovative solutions by combining basic scientific and technical principles from the diverse fields of agriculture, engineering, and science. Out of many possibilities, solutions will be identified based on their system-wide simplicity, economic impact, and environmental footprint, in light of government policy and social impact. The SFEWS cohorts performing these studies will provide a workforce trained in interdisciplinary skills to identify underlying factors leading to competition for land, to suggest innovative solutions, and then lead in global implementation as researchers, business and industry leaders, policy makers, teachers and entrepreneurs. The new scientific and technical knowledge, unique systems analysis methods, and tools developed from this program will have impact well beyond the SFEWS NRT. This team will develop new interdisciplinary courses and training modules, globally disseminated through vehicles such as nanoHUB.org. Through well-planned diversity recruiting and engagement, the SFEWS NRT will help underrepresented and women students to help forge a sustainable FEW economy. Successful execution of this program will introduce a new paradigm where local FEW needs can increasingly be met with local solar energy for a highly resilient economy, with the U.S. serving as a world leader in sustainably meeting FEW needs.The NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) Program is designed to encourage the development and implementation of bold, new potentially transformative models for STEM graduate education training. The Traineeship Track is dedicated to effective training of STEM graduate students in high priority interdisciplinary research areas, through comprehensive traineeship models that are innovative, evidence-based, and aligned with changing workforce and research needs.This project is co-funded by the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program. The LSAMP program supports comprehensive, evidence-based, and sustained approaches to broadening participation of students from racial and ethnic groups historically underrepresented in STEM.

需要大量的土地来满足人口越来越多的地球的食物，能量和水（很少）。这可能导致挑战性的土地使用竞争，在当地的土地使用实践中无法满足当地人的需求。例如，在生产太阳能的地区，标准的太阳能电池板可以全天在农业土地上投射大地面阴影，这极大地阻碍了农作物的生长。迫切需要为可持续的少数系统（SFEWS）开发解决方案，在这些系统中，可以使用可用的土地协作而不是竞争性来满足食物，能源和水的需求。一种方法可能是使用整个太阳能光谱从给定的土地区域最大化资源生产。实现此类解决方案需要有效的跨学科教育和培训，以为可持续的太阳能经济带来领导的资源和人力资本。这项国家科学基金会研究实习生（NRT）颁发给普渡大学和佛罗里达州A＆M大学将构成一个跨学科的培训计划，该计划将培训研究生，以生产可持续的食品，能源和水（少数）所需的技能，以获取更众多的人口稠密地球。该项目预计，来自农艺学，农业和生物工程，电气和计算机工程，化学工程，化学工程，材料科学和工程，化学和农业经济学的48名博士学位学生，包括24名资助的学员。当地太阳能在本地需要水管理。实现这一状态需要研究高度复杂的系统，并通过将基本的科学和技术原理结合到农业，工程和科学领域的基本科学和技术原理来开发创新的解决方案。在许多可能性中，将根据政府的政策和社会影响，根据其系统范围的简单性，经济影响和环境足迹来确定解决方案。执行这些研究的SFEWS队列将提供一名劳动力跨学科技能的劳动力，以识别导致土地竞争的潜在因素，提出创新的解决方案，然后在全球实施方面领导研究人员，商业和行业领导者，政策制定者，教师和企业家。该程序开发的新科学和技术知识，独特的系统分析方法和工具将远远超出SFEWS NRT。该团队将开发新的跨学科课程和培训模块，该模块通过Nanohub.org等车辆进行全球传播。通过精心计划的多样性招募和参与，SFEWS NRT将有助于不足和女性学生帮助造就可持续的少数经济。该计划的成功执行将引入一个新的范式，在该范式中，当地的太阳能越来越多地满足了高度弹性的经济性，美国是可持续的世界领导者，以满足可持续的需求。旨在鼓励开发和实施STEM研究生教育培训的大胆，新的潜在变革模型。通过全面的跨学科研究领域的STEM研究生，通过全面的培训模型对STEM研究生进行有效培训，这些模型具有创新，基于证据的，并且与不断变化的劳动力和研究需求保持一致。该项目由Louis Stokes共同资助。少数民族参与的联盟（LSAMP）计划。 LSAMP计划支持全面，基于证据和持续的方法，以扩大来自STEM的种族和族裔的学生的参与。
