Effectively adapting to climate change involves overcoming social and ecological system barriers. The present study uses a three‐phase adaptation framework to propose adaptation strategies aimed at overcoming socioecological barriers of the food–energy–water (FEW) nexus. Cradle‐to‐farm‐gate land, greenhouse gas (GHG), and water impacts—that derive from food consumption in the United States—are analyzed and differentiated by major demographic groups (Black, Latinx, and White). Results indicate that the White demographic yields the highest per capita GHG (680 kg of CO2 eq⋅year−1) and water impacts (328,600 L⋅year−1) from food consumption, whereas the Black demographic yields the highest per capita land impacts (1,770 m2⋅year−1) from food consumption. Our findings suggest that obtaining data with the intention of building consensus across sociodemographic lines overcomes barriers in the understanding phase, leading to increased social receptivity for many planning and managing phase processes. Specifically, we find that identifying and developing leaders who possess the cognitive and interpersonal capacity to manage many variables and stakeholders is key to assessing and selecting adaptation options in the planning phase. We also propose using government programming to encourage environmentally friendly food purchasing behavior. Then, we discuss how our proposals could be used in adaptation feasibility and evaluation activities in the managing phase. In all, these findings facilitate the development of improved climate change adaptation and policy by satisfying the understanding phase of the climate change adaptation framework, establishing a cross‐disciplinary methodological approach to addressing socioecological problems, and providing useful FEW impact data for FEW nexus and climate change researchers.

克服气候变化适应障碍:按人口群体对美国平均饮食对食物,能源,水的影响进行的研究
有效适应气候变化需要克服社会和生态系统的障碍。本研究使用一个三阶段的适应框架来提出适应策略,旨在克服粮食,能源,水(FEW)联系的社会生态障碍。主要人口统计群体(黑人,拉丁裔和白人)分析并区分了从美国的食品消费所产生的从摇篮到农场的土地,温室气体(GHG)和水影响。结果表明,白人人口从食物消费中获得最高的人均温室气体排放量(680 kg CO 2 当量·年-1)和水影响(328,600L⋅year -1),而黑人人口则产生最高的人均土地影响(1770米2 ⋅year-1)从食物消费。我们的发现表明,获得旨在跨社会人口统计学界达成共识的数据,可以克服理解阶段的障碍,从而导致许多计划和管理阶段流程的社会接受度增加。具体而言,我们发现,识别和培养具有认知能力和人际关系能力来管理许多变量和利益相关者的领导者,对于在计划阶段评估和选择适应方案至关重要。我们还建议使用政府计划来鼓励环境友好的食品购买行为。然后,我们讨论在管理阶段如何将我们的建议用于适应性可行性和评估活动。在所有,
