Water-energy-food nexus
2017
"Water, energy and food are key resources to sustain life, and are 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 sustainably is a critical concern for scientists, citizens, governments, and policymakers. Water-Energy-Food Nexus: Principles 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"--Back cover.
