Dr. Jake Hawes

Dr. Jake Hawes' research group explores the interconnections and interdependencies between social, ecological, and technological systems. This research enables stakeholder-driven insights into the ways that food-energy-water systems are evolving and the ways that emerging technologies like Controlled Environment Agriculture might influence sustainability, resilience, and justice in the future. Past work includes carbon and nutrient footprinting of urban agriculture, spatial analysis of urban ag opportunity spaces, and analysis of municipal plans and policies for urban agriculture.
