Dealing with energy, food and water issues in isolation might entail trade-offs between these domains. On July 18, 2019, twenty researchers and professionals from different disciplinary backgrounds gathered at the Public University of Navarra for a one-day workshop organized by Diego Sesma Martín at INARBE and Maite M. Aldaya at IS-FOOD to address the water-energy-food nexus synergies and challenges in Spain and beyond.
The workshop provided an overview of the state-of-the-art, gaps and advances on the water-food-energy research, existing data and potential indicators to cope with projected forecasts. The speakers, panellist and attendees, representing the academia, private and public sector, provided thought-provoking perspectives on the challenges that confront us.
