“…Best agricultural management practices include utilizing renewable resources to reduce nonrenewable inputs of fuel and synthetic nitrogen fertilizer, implementing drip irrigation, conservation tillage, and certified organic production. However, some of these practices, such as drip irrigation, may use more energy to save water as the trade-off (Liu 2016). It is uncertain how farmers may change future practices, what may influence these decisions, and what are the new roles for urban and organic agriculture for future food production.…”

“…Climate change is likely to make surface water more scarce, particularly in agricultural food production. Best management practices combined with water and energy use efficiency for agricultural food production can help to reduce fossil energy-related water uses and reduce GHG emission for climate change adaptation and mitigation (Liu 2016). There is limited research in California linking food production to water and energy savings.…”

“…Often, it is difficult to get a clear picture of water and energy used for food systems because the complex food life cycle is broken up categorically, with water, energy, and transportation all being considered separate and unassociated with each other. Lack of research and data for energy intensity in California agricultural crops makes it very difficult to quantify the related water-energy-food nexus at this point (Liu 2016).…”

“…California case studies have estimated regional energy intensity and have quantified GHG emissions from the electrical energy used in the water sector for the waterenergy-food nexus that have climate change implications (Liu 2016). The increased regional temperature and water stresses could affect the water and energy nexus for agriculture and food production, as well as fish and wildlife habitats.…”

“…Other research efforts have begun to explore common challenges in the context of the water-foodenergy-climate nexus (World Economic Forum 2011). Most recent case studies in California have indicated a complex water-energy-food nexus with climate change implications at a regional scale (Liu 2016), and related research began to connect dots with climate change, water, energy, and food related to ecosystems in California (Liu 2014). This research has provided the benefits of public outreach and education (Jablonski, et al 2015) but still lacks framework and pathways for the key connecting points.…”

Climate change directly affects crop yields as a measure of food availability by, for example, causing harvest failure. El Niño and La Niña are two weather patterns affecting the climate of Indonesia, a country at low latitudes, and reportedly increasing its vulnerability to food insecurity. This research was designed to analyze climate change impact on food availability in the Province of Kalimantan Utara using secondary data(temperature, rainfall, and agricultural production) as the base data. It employed quantitative descriptive analysis to explain the study results expressed in maps, tables, and graphs and the regression technique to determine climate change impact on food availability. The regression analysis revealed that climate change significantly shaped the availability of rice (0.008) and vegetable commodity (0.000) but posed insignificanteffects on tubers, legumes, and fruits. Apart from climate change, food availability also depends on land management, land suitability, capital, technology, and cultivated plant variety

Public Preferences for Food–Energy–Water Tradeoffs in the Western U.S.

The food–energy–water (FEW) nexus is, by definition, a “wicked problem” in that potential solutions in one sector may inadvertently create perverse effects in another. For example, rapid population growth in conjunction with increasing urbanization will add additional stress to current pressures on the world’s FEW resources. Water scarcity will increase challenges in providing plentiful foods, as well as clean, potable water. Water is also critical to energy production—and conversely—energy is needed to deliver clean, safe water. Extant and projected demand for FEW creates an intertwined problem of supply and demand and new policy considerations for managing the nexus. This study examines the FEW policy tradeoff preferences of the public in California, Idaho, Oregon and Washington states, using survey data collected in 2018. More specifically, this study examines the impact of demographic control variables, FEW knowledge, and environmental values and beliefs on hypothetical tradeoffs between FEW policy preferences. Findings suggest that those respondents that believe in human-caused climate change and with higher new ecological paradigm (NEP) scores were more supportive of water quality issues versus hydroelectric energy production, rural solar energy development versus limiting rural solar development for food production, and water quality over food production for a growing population.
