The Food-Water-Energy Nexus: Transforming Science for Sustainable Societies

An Asia Clean Energy Forum (ACEF) 2019 Deep Dive Workshop

Energy is vital to economic development. It is a critical input to water resources management—from pumping, transportation, treatment, and desalination. Energy powers agriculture—from farm equipment to food processing. Similarly, the water sector underpins energy production—from the extraction of raw materials, cooling of thermal power plants, cleaning processes, crop production for biofuels, and fuel for turbines. Water, of course, breathes life into agriculture.
