Food systems, biodiverse ecosystems, and renewable energy production are all vulnerable to projected climatic changes. Environmental pressures are already straining our food system, and the warming trends that threaten food systems can decrease photovoltaic (PV) panel efficiencies. Despite this vulnerability, PV installations have increased exponentially. With growing demand, land-use conflicts for these two primary needs – food and energy – have arisen around the country. Sustainability research recognizes that resource challenges need to be addressed as integrated and interconnected sets of issues. In the spirit of this year’s theme “Science is Society”, we encourage submissions that span the spectrum of convergent research required to assess the impacts of a changing climate or land use pressure on our food and renewable energy systems and the physical and social sciences required to understand how co-location practices can bolster environmental sustainability, a range of ecosystem services, and/or food, energy, and water security.
