facing people and our environments, now and in the future. Climate change, human population growth, stressed water supplies (the list goes on and on) all challenge our basic ability to support our communities, and the ecosystems that support those communities. This includes our ability to grow and produce food for our ever-increasing population.<\/p>\n<p>To help chart a path forward amidst all the uncertainty of the future, an interdisciplinary team of scientists from Â鶹´«Ã½, University of Idaho, and the University of New Hampshire has been examining the future of dairy in Idaho by working closely with stakeholders in the Magic Valley. Located in southcentral Idaho, the Magic Valley is the 3rd largest dairy-producing region in the nation. Home to Chobani and many other dairy processors, the region supports over 300 concentrated agricultural feed operations (CAFOs), while also being home to significant potato (it is Idaho after all!), sugar beet, and other crop production. All this agriculture requires a significant amount of energy and water, which is why our group was funded to study the system as an integrated Food, Energy, and Water (FEW) system. The team has developed a hydrologic model that integrates past, current, and future climate data to estimate water availability for the region, which has been compared to crop production. Workshops with local stakeholders were used to identify what those crops might be feasible, given changes in climate, population, pollution, policy, and global economic drivers, in the future.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-k5392j-4037a7697153bc6c0c4aa5f724a79306\">\n.avia-image-container.av-k5392j-4037a7697153bc6c0c4aa5f724a79306 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-k5392j-4037a7697153bc6c0c4aa5f724a79306 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-k5392j-4037a7697153bc6c0c4aa5f724a79306 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  pop-12'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/05\/Â鶹´«Ã½-Environmental-Science-Policy-Blog-Agricultural-Futures-GvSIG-GIS-v1.webp 1030w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/05\/Â鶹´«Ã½-Environmental-Science-Policy-Blog-Agricultural-Futures-GvSIG-GIS-v1-300x176.webp 300w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/05\/Â鶹´«Ã½-Environmental-Science-Policy-Blog-Agricultural-Futures-GvSIG-GIS-v1-768x450.webp 768w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/05\/Â鶹´«Ã½-Environmental-Science-Policy-Blog-Agricultural-Futures-GvSIG-GIS-v1-705x413.webp 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/05\/Â鶹´«Ã½-Environmental-Science-Policy-Blog-Agricultural-Futures-GvSIG-GIS-v1.jpg\" height=\"603\" width=\"1030\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/05\/Â鶹´«Ã½-Environmental-Science-Policy-Blog-Agricultural-Futures-GvSIG-GIS-v1.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/05\/Â鶹´«Ã½-Environmental-Science-Policy-Blog-Agricultural-Futures-GvSIG-GIS-v1-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/05\/Â鶹´«Ã½-Environmental-Science-Policy-Blog-Agricultural-Futures-GvSIG-GIS-v1-768x450.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/05\/Â鶹´«Ã½-Environmental-Science-Policy-Blog-Agricultural-Futures-GvSIG-GIS-v1-705x413.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" class=\"wp-image-73339 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-73339 avia_image  sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Â鶹´«Ã½ Environmental Science &amp; Policy Agricultural Futures GvSIG GIS v1\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  > <\/picture><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-js26a39q-94b38af98eb913c9a2b82a97fb6b9dde '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), we have mapped several alternative &#8220;futures&#8221; that explore different assumptions of change, ranging from no-change to a megadrought, to a shift from global to local food production.
