The article discusses the importance of understanding the connections between food, energy, and water resources. It highlights the need to clearly define what constitutes a food-energy-water (FEW) nexus problem to ensure that solutions are effective and do not cause unintended consequences. The researchers suggest that the FEW nexus is more complex and high-stakes compared to other sustainability issues. They propose focusing on developing simple indicators to assess FEW system status and determining the boundaries of specific FEW nexuses.
