Workshop "Food-Energy-Water on the South Platte River"
This is one of three workshops by The Belmont Forum, START, Future Earth, and regional partners. These workshops seek to advance skill development in TD research, as well as increasing aptitude for developing proposals with strong TD elements, which is a cornerstone of all the Belmont Forum’s multi-year Collaborative Research Action (CRA), including the recently launched call on urbanization and the food-energy-water nexus.
