Energy, Food, and Water Nexus, Green Options

Unprecedented risks and challenges are being faced by our global community, and they are directly related to the way we now evaluate and utilize our resources. It is essential to examine the current linkages between these components in order to offer long-term solutions to current issues. The three essential elements discussed in this chapter—water, energy, and food—form a nexus on which certain external factors have an impact. The globalisation of agriculture and the ongoing expansion of the food market, which causes a significant virtual flow of water across countries and is crucial to and water security in some places, have further complicated the relationship between food and water. Despite the obvious conflicts underlying the increasing requirement for energy and food on this current global scale, the integral interdependence of water, food, and energy nexus management can provide a prospect for mutually supportive policies to provide durable energy, food, and water in the future for a sustainable economy. Consequently, in order to ensure global security, the world must prioritize the management of the universe’s most usable three components nexus.
