Water, food, and energy supply is one of the main issues that the growing world population has been faced, and Iran is not excepted. Following the UN Millennium Development Goals, researchers have presented a variety of interdisciplinary approaches to achieve a dynamic balance between the resource production and consumption. The most important approach is the Water, Energy, and Food (WEF) Nexus. Due to the available resources scarcity which are intensifying on a daily basis, every opportunity should be exploited to balance the current consumption and resources. The Nexus approach enhances productivity by integrating water, energy, and their recycles. This article refers to the strategic relationship between sustainable development with respect to the Nexus of water, food, and energy, as well as identifying the policies of these three sectors, to ensure that they are targeted for optimal use of resources.
