FEWscapes
An overview of the data we will be using as model inputs to simulate the project’s scenarios for food, energy, water, and ecosystem security in the Upper Mississippi River Basin to the year 2050.
How policies could be developed differently to reduce the risk of negative unintended consequences and increase FEW resilience.
A new paper by the FEWscapes team outlines how siloed decision-making leads to unintended consequences for FEW systems.
Peek under the hood of AgroIBIS, the principal model we’re using in FEWscapes, and get a glimpse of just how it reads agricultural landscapes.
