The Special Collection explores various aspects of the food-energy-water nexus, highlighting the importance of considering both technical and human factors in policy-making and resource management. Studies feature complex systems like the Columbia River basin, emphasizing consensus building, adaptive management, and local community support. A meta-analysis identifies gaps in modeling approaches and suggests integrating technology adoption, economic factors, and additional nexus dimensions. Case studies in rural communities illustrate the need for community engagement and place-based solutions. Topics range from the importance of accounting for feedbacks in FEW nexus analyses and participatory framing for adaptive water management to questions about small-scale irrigation and optimizing water supply in arid regions.
