Coupling infrastructure improvements to food-energy-water (FEW) system dynamics in small cold region communities

Research Questions

1

What are the direct and indirect linkages and feedbacks between renewable energy generation and the local drivers of food, energy, and water (FEW) security in Arctic and Subarctic communities?

2

To what extent can combinations of renewable energy generation and FEW-related infrastructure energy loads be optimized to enhance FEW security in Arctic and Subarctic communities?
