2016年3月22日，國(guó)際應(yīng)用系統(tǒng)分析研究所(International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, IIASA)代表團(tuán)來(lái)訪現(xiàn)代農(nóng)學(xué)院（籌），該所食品與農(nóng)業(yè)研究著名專(zhuān)家Prof. Guenther Fisher為現(xiàn)代農(nóng)業(yè)經(jīng)濟(jì)講座系列帶來(lái)關(guān)于水-食品-能源關(guān)系建模的學(xué)術(shù)報(bào)告“Integrated Scenario Development and Modeling of the Water-Food-Energy Nexus in Asia and the Pacific”。Prof. Guenther Fisher圍繞“After going through a lot of preparatory work and impact analysis, the next phase of WFaS plans to focus on 'water solutions'. By this we understand sets of sector-specific measures and management options that work for individual sectors and at the same time produce synergies and robust outcomes acrosssectors towards improved water, food and energy security. While the global scenario work provides a wealth of consistent and useful information and some of the solution options can be designed and tested at a global scale, we are aware that practical and acceptable water solutions will have to be tailored to the specific conditions of a river basin or country and will have to be solicited from and responsive to the priorities of the involved stakeholders.The studies which we plan to undertake would seek to combine, in best IIASA tradition, elements of methodological innovation(in water systems analysis) and knowledge creation of societal and policy relevance. Studies will emphasizethe water-food-energy nexus, of course taking into account that agriculture is by far the largest factor of water consumptive use and will continue to play a critical role in the nexus.”進(jìn)行了精彩的演講，為北大學(xué)子帶來(lái)了世界前沿的學(xué)術(shù)信息。

講座后，學(xué)院黃季焜教授團(tuán)隊(duì)熱情接待了IIASA代表團(tuán)一行，并與代表團(tuán)成員展開(kāi)了熱烈的學(xué)術(shù)討論。
