The affordable production, security, and safety of Food, Energy, and Water resources (the FEW Nexus) can no longer be addressed in isolation. The complicated world structure and global connections result in a complex system problem with the search to balance local needs and complex global connections. New frameworks, methodologies, and tools that account for diverse stakeholders are needed to manage the Nexus. Chemical engineers bring important understanding, skills, and gifts to address this problem. The session highlights contributions contributions and integration among academia, industry, and government for addressing the Nexus. Please consult the online program for the most up-to-date information.
