The Water-Energy-Food Nexus: Optimization Models for Decision Making covers the discussion about water, energy, and food as a crucial resource for human well-being and for sustainable development. These resources are inextricable 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 even conventional or unconventional, and there must be considered the interlinkages of resources for a proper integration. This book will emphasize several 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 to cover nutritional demands. Therefore, in The Water-Energy-Food Nexus: Optimization Models for Decision Making, mathematical models are presented for the design of water-energy-food nexus systems involving several strategies to account for issues like sustainable development, security of resources, interest in conflicts from stakeholders, and efficient allocation of resources. - Includes different optimization models for the integration of water-energy-food nexus - Considers sustainability criteria in the presented models - Helps readers understand different approaches for trade-off solutions - Presents general software that can be used in solving different problems
