Climate change disrupts global food systems by affecting water, energy, ecosystems, and agricultural productivity. Building climate resilience demands integrated approaches that recognize interdependencies among food, environmental (WEF-E) systems. This review synthesizes current research on how the WEF-E nexus can guide adaptation strategies. It highlights interdisciplinary solutions—such as solar-powered irrigation, agrivoltaics, agroforestry, conservation agriculture, nature-based water management—that enhance resource efficiency, stabilize yields, reduce degradation. Effective implementation requires governance innovation, stakeholder participation, coherent cross-sector policies. The paper also outlines priorities, including development of metrics, modeling tools, inclusive decision-making mechanisms. Emphasizing both mitigation, offers a transformative lens for sustainable, equitable, climate-resilient As pressures intensify, advancing this framework presents an urgent necessity strategic opportunity to align security with stewardship.
