Environmental Trade-Offs for a Sustainable Future: Water/Energy/Food Nexus

Environmental Trade-Offs for a Sustainable Future: Water/Energy/Food Nexus

Optimal chemical engineering solutions for water use reduction in food processing must also give full consideration to a third component, energy. The water challenge cannot be solved in isolation. An understanding of the water-energy-food nexus is essential if we are to address food and water security effectively. Energy is required for food production and also to produce the process water upon which food production depends.
