The document discusses the concepts of Food, Energy, and Water (FEW) and their interlinkages. It describes the Solar Universities Network (SUN) which has 72 registered universities working towards sustainability goals. The network is establishing guidelines around campus water, energy, and plastics use to help universities become carbon neutral. It also presents various perspectives on FEW such as production for food versus fodder, large versus small systems, and using FEW for multiple purposes.

Editor's Notes
- The solar panels of agrivoltaics affects crops and land they cover in ways more than providing shade. Two ways are affecting water flow and heat. They also allow for more revenue per acre to be created.[1] For example, grape farms with appropriate spacing could increase revenue 15 times.[50] n experiments testing evaporation levels under PVP for shade resistant crops cucumbers and lettuce watered by irrigation, a 14-29% savings in evaporation was found.[1] Agrivoltaics could be used for crops or areas where water efficiency is imperative.[1] It was found that while the air beneath the panels stayed consistent, the land and plants had lower temperatures recorded.[1] With rising temperature from climate change this may become important for some food crops.[51] Also the solar panels might work better because of the cooling provided by the plants.[52]
- Dinesh et al. found that the value of solar generated electricity coupled to shade-tolerant crop production created an over 30% increase in economic value Shade resistant crops are not typically grown in industrial agricultural systems.[1] For instance, wheat crops do not fare well in a low light environment, meaning they would not work with agrivoltaics.[1]
