China has proposed “ecological conservation and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin” to a major national strategy, which puts forward higher requirements for water, energy, food along (TYR). However, water–energy–food nexus (WEF) system in TYR basin is very complicated. Based on theory method harmonious regulation, this paper new WEF harmony framework (WEFH) study balance TYR. WE...

The American Chemical Society’s Division of Environmental Chemistry symposium Toward Creating a Water-Energy-Food (WEF) Nexus Community Practice, brought together 25 cross-disciplinary speakers in five thematic areas: 1 ) state the art models and approaches, 2 WEF initiatives case studies, 3 governance stakeholder engagement, 4 chemical processes Nexus, 5 education, community, practice. Discuss...

Water-Energy-Food (WEF) Nexus interactions vary from seemingly negative and intractable wicked problems to opportunities for enhanced sustainability. The aim of this paper is review the current state understanding on WEF resource provide a roadmap enhance integrated management. A qualitative perspective based expert insight experience was supported by more quantitative systematic analysis liter...

Despite near-global consensus on the Sustainable Development Goals and Paris Climate Agreement, unresolved politically contentious trade-offs have undermined implementation. One exemplary case facing difficult are Water-Energy-Food (WEF) nexus cases. Here, we extend nascent ‘Social-Ecological Action Situations’ framework to analyse past coevolution of WEF cases (or other social-ecological syste...

This study explores how the concept and research on water-energy-food (WEF) nexus has evolved over time. The uncovers key terms underpinning phenomenon, maps interlinkages between WEF topics, provides an overview of evolution nexus. We analyzed published academic literature from Scopus database performed both qualitative quantitative analyses using Natural Language Processing method. findings s...

The water–energy–food (WEF) nexus approach is gaining attention due to the challenge of better managing natural elements. Agro-industrial companies, given their environmental impacts, need take sustainability into proper account. However, this sector lacks novel tools needed integrate current methodologies with additional quality frameworks, such as business excellence models (BEMs). Therefore,...

Rooftop farming is a practical solution of smart urban agriculture to furnish diverse socio-environmental benefits and short food supply chains, especially in densely populated cities. This study aims raise security with less use public water energy production, through utilizing green for sustainable management. A system dynamics (SD) model framed across the nexus climate, water, (WEF) sectors ...

The quest to improve the mired development challenges of developing economies at a global scale have in recent years constituted policy imprimatur discourse, including role national and local resources. “Nexus” is an ultra-prioritized integrative approach. It denotes connection(s) linking two or more phenomena variables. therefore not surprising witness of-the-moment approaches such as developm...

Integrated approaches to planning and policy are important for making progress toward sustainability. A variety of frameworks have been developed facilitating such policy, as the water-energy-food (WEF) nexus. However, WEF nexus has criticized a lack clarity in how apply framework, whereas goals-oriented framework potentially could be more easily applied operationalized. This paper proposes ref...
