  • The water-energy-food nexus, its relationship with ecosystems, and its role in supporting society

    Open AccessJanez Sušnik, Tamara Avellán et al.ARTICLESustainability Science2026References: 14

  • A water–energy–food nexus analysis of the impact of desalination and irrigated agriculture expansion in the Ain Temouchent region, Algeria

    Open AccessLeila Mostefaoui, Janez Sušnik et al.ARTICLEEnvironment Development and…2024

    The need for an integrated approach to sustainable resources management to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals has become widely recognized. Population growth, climate change, environmental degradation, and scarcity of resources have been identified as the major factors affecting society’s future. Given the fundamental societal needs for food, energy, and water, the Water–Energy–Food (WEF) nexus has emerged as a useful sustainable resource …

  • Policy coherence assessment of water, energy, and food resources policies in the Tana River Basin, Kenya

    Open AccessAustine Ochieng Suda, Janez Sušnik et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2024Cited by: 2References: 2

    Water, energy, and food resources are closely related in the water-energy-food (WEF) nexus, a tightly connected system in which impacts in one sector leads to changes in the other sectors. The WEF nexus approach studies these interactions to better understand their connections and implications across sectors, and is focused on making research practicable for policy. There is a clear lack of policy coherence studies to provide practical recommenda…

  • Towards realization of nexus-doing at the grassroots level

    Open AccessTumaini Wambua John, Janez Sušnik et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2023Cited by: 5References: 2

    The intricate connections between water, land, food, energy, and climate change require a multicentric approach to evaluating the trade-offs and synergies needed to achieve sustainable development. For example, the amount of water required in irrigated agriculture, consumptive water uses, and hydro-power production can potentially lead to water pollution, and negatively affect hydrological regimes. However, Operationalizing Water Energy Food (WEF…

  • Streamflow droughts aggravated by human activities despite management

    Open AccessAnne F Van Loon, Sally Rangecroft et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Human activities both aggravate and alleviate streamflow drought. Here we show that aggravation is dominant in contrasting cases around the world analysed with a consistent methodology. Our 28 cases included different combinations of human-water interactions. We found that water abstraction aggravated all drought characteristics, with increases of 20%–305% in total time in drought found across the case studies, and increases in total deficit of u…

  • Understanding gender differences in availability, accessibility and use of climate information among smallholder farmers in Malawi

    Open AccessRebecka Henriksson, Katharine Vincent et al.ARTICLEClimate and Development2021

    Smallholder farmers in the sub-Saharan Africa are vulnerable to climate variability and change, and are thus in need of adaptation. Access to climate information, such as weather forecasts, has been identified as a potential enabler for improved adaptation, but such access tends to be strongly gendered. This study uses qualitative and quantitative data to assess the availability, accessibility and use of climate information among smallholder suga…

  • A sweet deal? Sugarcane, water and agricultural transformation in Sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessTim Hess, T M Hess et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2016Cited by: 4References: 9

    Globally, the area of sugarcane is rising rapidly in response to growing demands for bioethanol and increased sugar demand for human consumption. Despite considerable diversity in production systems and contexts, sugarcane is a particularly “high impact” crop with significant positive and negative environmental and socio-economic impacts. Our analysis is focused on Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), which is a critical region for continued expansion, due …
