Developing leaders to solve wicked problems at the nexus of food, energy, and water systems via interdisciplinary and experiential graduate training. Food, energy, and water systems (FEWS) are interconnected and embedded within technical, social, and biophysical systems. Interdisciplinary and experiential graduate training is needed to build the necessary skills to allow next-generation leaders, working across the career spectrum, to transform FEWS. Creating a community of practice can provide mentorship and shared learning for emerging and developed leaders to create lasting, innovative solutions. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1525/elementa.407.f1
