Collaborative Development of a Framework for Food-Energy-Water-Nexus Education

Sat, April 13, 7:45 to 9:15am, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 118B

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

The Food-Energy-Water-nexus (FEW-nexus) presents many levels of complex and interdependent relationships among food, energy, water, and environmental and societal challenges. FEW-nexus provide opportunities for the development of a rationale for sustained, systemic, and transdisciplinary educational efforts in a wide array of educational contexts. Although the FEW-nexus has received attention from researchers and educators there is no unified concept and little agreement on what it means. In this structured poster session, we contextualize “sustainability” to emphasize “justice” in FEW-nexus based education. We will (1) describe an emerging FEW-nexus instructional framework being developed by our group; (2) share examples related to the FEW-nexus instructional framework; and (3) highlight connections across the examples and how they substantially contribute to FEW-nexus-based education.
