Ways to Walk the Water-Energy-Food Nexus Talk: The Food Perspective - Webinar

This webinar explores the role of sustainable food and agriculture within the Water-Energy-Food Nexus, aiming to strengthen understanding of how these systems integrate to achieve Sustainable Development Goals. The discussion highlights that current global food systems are failing environmentally, nutritionally, and economically, with modern agriculture heavily dependent on fossil fuels. Using analytical studies and decision analytic frameworks, speakers examine case studies from Central Asia and Africa, demonstrating that water-saving technologies and balanced resource management yield significant energy and water savings. Furthermore, private sector experiences in Mali underscore the necessity of a systemic approach addressing energy, infrastructure, and socio-economic realities, such as youth migration. Ultimately, the presentations reveal that practical implementation, regenerative practices, and resilience are essential for sustainable agricultural development.
