Water, energy and food are key resources to sustain life, and are the
fundamental to national, regional and global economies. These three
resources are interlinked in multiple ways, and the term “nexus”
captures the interconnections. The nexus has been discussed, debated,
researched, and advocated widely but the focus is often on the pairings
of “water-energy” or “water-food” or “energy-food”. To really benefit
from the nexus approach in terms of resource use efficiency it is
essential to understand, operationalize and practice the nexus of all
three resources. As demand for these resources increases worldwide,
using them sustainability is a critical concern for scientists and
citizens, governments and policy makers.
Volume highlights include:
- Contributions to the global debate on water-energy-food nexus
- Examples of the nexus approach in practice from different regions of the world
- Perspectives on the future of the nexus agenda
Water-Energy-Food Nexus: Theories and Practices is
a valuable resource for students, research scholars and professionals
in academic institutions with strong interests in interdisciplinary
research involving geography, earth science, environmental science,
environmental management, sustainability science, international
development, and ecological economics. The volume will also be useful
for professionals, practitioners and consultants in /NGOs, government,
and international agencies.
