FEWscapes
The FEWscapes scenarios are ambitious because they rose from an ambitious question: what would it take to achieve big-picture goals […]
Imagine a future with clean rivers and lakes, resilient and thriving farms, and biodiverse ecosystems. How could we get there? […]
FEWscapes researchers have been working on science with a focus on applied problem-solving. Here are a few insights from their work.
Farmers in the Midwest are likely to react positively to policies that advance conservation goals — as long as those policies also take farm profitability seriously.
Available data suggest that, even if all farms comply with existing standards, nutrient levels in lakes and streams would likely not meet targets for safe fishing and swimming.
Researchers from the FEWscapes project at the University of Wisconsin–Madison recently published two research briefs highlighting Midwest farmers’ views on farm […]
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.
