The hotel industry in Iran faces critical challenges that underscore the urgent need for sustainable practices, specifically realms of energy, water, and food. Despite growth, a mere three percent hotels fall into five- four-star categories, emphasizing widespread adoption practices. Focused on Ramsar Mazandaran, study underscores importance eco-friendly strategies to tackle related food–water–energy nexus. Employing SCOC, Fuzzy BWM, Z-MARCOS methods, research proposes robust framework evaluating development strategies. case reveals concentration Khorasan Razavi, Tehran, urging prioritization practices these regions. Analyzing Ramsar’s climate, suggests leveraging solar energy implementing green roofs, an integrated approach achieve construction. Furthermore, provides prioritized set based aligning with criteria regarding water–energy–food It emphasizes internal strengths, opportunities, strategic technology partnerships while acknowledging external such as political stability climate change risks. discussion introduces Importance–Performance Analysis (IPA) guide managerial decisions, presenting insightful perspective effective strategy implementation Iran’s evolving industry.

Abstract Climate change linked to human activities is affecting natural systems, increasing frequency and severity of water-related hazards. The issue climate pushes tackle the expected risks in water sector through a comprehensive global view, with revision paradigms considered as drivers resources development. Based on evolution these Italy main characteristics an adaptive approach other changes are discussed relatively infrastructures, legislative institutional frameworks. objective adaptation strategies increase resilience emphasizing capability reducing both physical socio-political vulnerability, improving governance services. Starting from analysis management, priorities for coping future challenges reference reduction risk shortage due drought, mitigation flood risk, issues concerning water-food-energy nexus.

In Africa, coping with the growing pressure of resource demand due to fast population growth and socio-economic development remains one major challenges 21st century. By 2050, energy water are projected rise by 80% 55%, respectively, while meet food demand, agricultural production needs approximately 50% more than in 2017. As continent continues skyrocket, these shifts threaten water-energy-food-ecosystem (WEFE) security, dangering their access availability. The region exhibits minimal performance WEFE, mainly because expertise insecurity sectors. However, WEFE nexus has emerged as a new technique address challenging situations Africa. This research become necessary effectively security impartiality management. Therefore, applying strategy, prioritizing coexisting water, energy, resources, embraces possibility enhancing entire scenery paper examines current scenario through multidisciplinary viewpoints, identifying main issues potential solutions. findings from this study show that virtually half people starving, about 20% malnourished, 47% lack electricity, 36% cannot provide basic amenities. Hence, provides valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, experts working towards sustainable Achieving involves combined arrangements exploit synergies alleviate trade-offs. It stresses need joint methods consider trade-offs among ecosystem ensure resilience unbiased face environmental challenges.

Mushrooms have always been an important source of food, with high nutritional value and medicinal attributes. With the use biotechnological applications, mushrooms gained further attention as a healthy food bioenergy. This review presents different applications explores how these can support global energy, water security. It highlights mushroom’s relevance to meet sustainable development goals UN. also discusses mushroom farming its requirements. The biotechnology includes sections on in producing nanoparticles, bioenergy, bioactive compounds, well bioremediation. are discussed under water, (WEF) nexus. As far we know, this is first report relationships WEF Finally, valorizes suggests possibilities for integration.

Abstract The water-energy-food (WEF) nexus is a concept and approach to examine the interactions of water, energy, food resources. Similarly, compound risks are set risk types that consider multiple connected factors amplify risks. While both concepts promoted as approaches move beyond silos address complex problems in environmental governance, there has been limited exploration their overlap. Our study integrates these two for more holistic assessment management resources context climate We connections between WEF ways. First, we review literature identify previous conceptual Second, seven case studies with how might be considered practice. results demonstrate limited, though not non-existent, integration theoretical studies. four cases do show some level connection practice opportunities greater future, such leveraging water sector bridge challenges together.

The water-energy-food (WEF) nexus has been promoted as an approach to integrated governance that can increase system sustainability. However, there have limited empirical studies demonstrate how WEF leads towards Therefore, the study investigates collaborative of connects sustainability in Singapore, considered one most sustainable cities world. objective is understand structure Singapore and explore this contributes This uses a case with qualitative text analysis on multiple data types address research objective. results show two key findings.

ABSTRACT Intertwined forces such as climate change, population growth, and economic development are increasingly straining the global supply of water, energy, food. This issue necessitates integrated, sustainable solutions harmonizing environmental stewardship, progress, human well‐being. The challenging task developing policies for resource management that avoid conflicting goals foster security in different sectors requires an inclusive policy considers views all integrated manner. water–food–energy–environment nexus (WFEEN) provides needed framework to support multi‐level strategies face challenges socio‐economic changes. must be mainstreamed into water resources at levels, including farm, national, regional ensure effectiveness a positive impact on economy, society, environment. paper explains enable mainstreaming. concept adopts four principles balance social, economic, dimensions: optimal use resources, environment preservation, community development, mitigation adaptation change. illustrates how promoting integration between maximizes benefits, improves achieves environmental, social sustainability levels.

Agriculture is the principal source for satisfying growing global demand food. However, current production patterns and socioeconomic demographic pressures could lead to an unsustainable, inequitable food supply. Government interventions support technical advances designed meet future needs following international trends while overcoming biophysical constraints. Those most often used are focused on augmenting land productivity through mechanisation increased dependence external inputs. To that end, public policies have emerged as engines of development in agriculture agri-food system. This article provides a chronological analysis relevant milestones sector Ecuador (1960–2020). At first, agrarian reform distribution tenure. Subsequently, focus moved implementation research, technological innovation technology transfer programmes promoted by state with financing from organisations. For this article, we chose our approach water–energy–food nexus. Until now, insufficient study based regarding agricultural has been conducted Ecuador. It essential concentrate because it represents about 10% gross domestic product employment more than two-thirds economically active population rural areas. fractioning, lack project continuity application packages identified suggest need rethink sustainable
