The Water-Energy-Food Nexus: Optimization Models for Decision Making, Volume 32 covers water, energy, and food as crucial resources for human well-being and sustainable development. These resources are inextricably interrelated, therefore, to cover water, energy, and food demands in different sectors and at different scales, it must be considered several sources to produce resources, and the interlinkages of resources for a proper integration must be considered. This book emphasizes issues that must be considered in the design of water-energy-food nexus systems, such as the selection of technologies to produce water or energy, size of technologies, and food required for nutritional demands. In addition, mathematical models are presented for the design of water-energy-food nexus systems involving several strategies to account for issues such as sustainable development, security of resources, interest in conflicts from stakeholders, and efficient allocation of resources.
