CSU’s Interdisciplinary Training, Education and Research in Food-Energy-Water Systems (InTERFEWS) in Semi-Arid Regions program is an funded NSF doctoral training program that prepares a diverse cohort of graduate students with the skills and knowledge necessary to make meaningful contributions to the complex and changing interactions in FEWS in semi-arid regions. The program has been created to integrate food, energy, and water education using a systems-based approach that cuts across disciplines, departments, and colleges at CSU.
