Josh Newell was featured in a synthesis article by Peter Matuszak on remote work and its associated carbon emissions. Newell emphasized that well paid workers tend to have larger homes and thus larger carbon footprints according to recent research. Remote work means more energy for cooling and heating those large homes which exacerbates this issue and outweighs any efforts to clean the regional grid that might supply electricity.

A recent Urban Sustainability Research Group product takes on the practical side of expanding urban agriculture – what can policymakers do to promote sustainable, equitable growth of the practice in cities? Through a series of interviews and scenario planning exercises, the roadmap identifies policy recommendations for a desirable future for urban ag in 2050. Part of the FEW-meter multi-institutional project, this work also dives into how and to what degree policy can be developed to create synergies between urban agriculture & cities’ food, energy and water nexus.
