项目摘要

Interconnected food-energy-water (FEW) demands are increasing due to increasing population and economic growth. One of the major reasons for these increased demands is the generation of non-utilized waste streams. The U.S. generates approximately 254 million tons of trash each year, with only 34% of this waste recycled or composted. Increasing restrictions on the export of garbage has generated both challenges and opportunities for the management of waste systems. Waste material provides and opportunity for materials recovery, the generation of new products and processes, and the potential to positively impact food, energy, and water systems. Given the increasing rates of consumption internationally, developing the next generation of waste recovery is of global significance. However, reinventing waste streams requires a better understanding of how waste is currently governed, rethinking and redesigning waste recovery production systems to better capture the value of material, developing systems for monitoring material composition, integration with new cyber infrastructure for waste monitoring, and incorporating the behavioral and policy structures that influence action across complex multi-scaled systems. The objectives of the project are to develop a systems-level framework for comparative analysis of organic waste lifecycles that combines behavior sciences with material flows analysis to rethink waste systems and the development of new co-products from organic wastes. This proposal focuses on systems-level interactions in the framework of "Organic Waste Lifecycles at the Interface of Food, Energy and Water Systems (OWL-FEWs)." The project entails the development of the next generation of cyber-infrastructure for measuring, monitoring, and capturing data on organic waste streams; analysis of social and institutional drivers behind organic waste disposal behavior; and experimentation, development, and testing of new co-products from organic waste streams. Utilizing an existing pilot-scale anaerobic digester, bio/hydrochar engineering facilities, open source radio frequency identification tagging for real time tracking of waste flows, and a series of behavior experiments and comparative institutional analysis of human behavior, the research team will focus on five goals: 1) The development of a dynamic model of organic waste lifecycles at a regional level; 2) The development and testing of organic food waste co-products for energy, soil amendments, water remediation, and other uses; 3) The development of a smart organic food waste cyber infrastructure; 4) The integration of social sciences across the development of the dynamic model, cyberinfrastructure, and waste/resource products; and 5) The engagement of stakeholders across the research and educational efforts. The results of this research will provide meaningful pathways to reducing waste in the U.S. and provide water treatment, energy, and agricultural resources from waste, leading to better food, energy, and water security in the U.S.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.

由于人口和经济增长的增加，相互联系的食物能量水（很少）的需求正在增加。这些需求增加的主要原因之一是产生非利用的废物流。美国每年产生约2.54亿吨垃圾，其中只有34％的废物回收或堆肥。对垃圾出口出口的限制增加了废物系统管理的挑战和机会。废料为材料恢复，新产品和过程的产生以及积极影响食品，能源和水系统的潜力提供了机会。鉴于国际消费率的提高，发展下一代废物恢复具有全球意义。但是，重塑废物流需要更好地了解当前如何处理废物，重新思考和重新设计废物回收生产系统，以更好地捕获材料的价值，开发用于监测材料组成的系统，与新的网络基础设施进行废物监测的集成，并纳入跨越复杂的多层尺度系统行动的行为和政策结构。该项目的目标是开发一个系统级框架，以对有机废物生命周期的比较分析，该框架将行为科学与材料流分析结合起来，以重新考虑废物系统和从有机废物中开发新的副产品。该提案的重点是“食物，能量和水系统界面上有机废物生命周期（OWL-FEWS）界面的有机废物生命周期”中的系统级相互作用。该项目需要开发下一代网络基础设施，以测量，监测和捕获有机废物流的数据；分析有机废物处置行为背后的社会和机构驱动因素；以及来自有机废物流的新副产品的实验，开发和测试。利用现有的试验尺度厌氧蒸发液，生物/水电工程设施，开源射电频率识别标签，用于实时跟踪废物流量，以及一系列的行为实验和对人类行为的比较机构分析，研究团队将重点介绍五个目标：1）开发有机浪费生活级别的动态模型，该模型是在区域性级别上的动态模型； 2）开发和测试有机食品废物的共同产品，用于能源，土壤修正，补救和其他用途； 3）开发智能有机食品废物网络基础设施； 4）在动态模型，网络基础设施和废物/资源产品的发展中，社会科学的整合； 5）利益相关者在整个研究和教育工作中的参与。这项研究的结果将为减少美国的废物提供有意义的途径，并从废物中提供水处理，能源和农业资源，从而在美国这一奖项中提供了更好的粮食，能源和水安全，这反映了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提供支持的。
