This book analyses the challenges and opportunities within the food-energy-water nexus, offering actionable insights into workable resource management practices. By bridging the gap between practical utilization and science, the book produces a link that integrates food, energy, and water to improve the sustainability of these natural resources. It offers a possible effective basis aimed at fostering innovative and collaborative research in this sector.Features: Emphasises the sustainability of natural resources, encouraging readers to understand the importance of harmonizing food, energy, and water demands for sustainable development. Provides methodologies and practical tools to measure and enhance nexus performance for resource optimization across different locations. Integrates interdisciplinary perspectives, drawing from engineering, environmental science, economics, and policy research to provide a holistic view of the nexus. Examines the development of the nexus, offering insights into past trends, current conditions, and prospective states. Outlines actionable strategies for optimizing the application and management of food, energy, and water resources. The book is aimed at graduate and postgraduate students, and researchers in environmental engineering, including policymakers, and industry practitioners seeking innovative approaches to resource management within the food-energy-water nexus.
