Becoming FEW Conscious: A Conceptual Typology of Household Behavior Change Interventions Targeting the Food-Energy-Water (FEW) Nexus

The nexus of food, energy, and water.

The Earth's population is expected to exceed 9 billion by 2050, posing significant challenges in meeting human needs while minimally affecting the environment. To support this population, we will need secure and safe sources of food, energy, and water. The nexus of food, energy, and water is one of the most complex, yet critical, issues that face society. There is no more land to exploit, and t...

The food-energy-water nexus: A framework for sustainable development modeling

Energy, water, and food are facing present and future challenges triggered by climate change, population growth, human behavior, and economics. Management strategies for energy, water, and food are possible through policies, technology, and related education. However, the links between resources (energy, water, and food) and impacting factors (population increase, human behavior, economics, and...

Water-energy-food nexus as a new approach for watershed resources management: a review

A Few Characterizations of the Univariate Continuous Distributions

Various characterizations of distributions, in their generality, are presented in terms of the conditional expectations. Some special  examples are given as well.

Challenges in operationalizing the water–energy–food nexus

Concerns about the water–energy–food (WEF) nexus have motivated many discussions regarding new approaches for managing water, energy and food resources. Despite the progress in recent years, there remainmany challenges in scientific research on theWEF nexus, while implementation as a management tool is just beginning. The scientific challenges are primarily related to data, information and know...
