¿Qué es el nexo agua-energía-alimentos?
Resumen
La creciente demanda mundial de agua dulce, energía y alimentos ha generado que la comunidad científica desarrolle un nuevo enfoque, para analizar, evaluar e implementar medidas de mitigación ante esta gran crisis. Es así como surge el concepto nexo agua-energía-alimentos (WEF, por sus siglas en inglés) el cual se refiere a las interacciones que se dan entre estos tres recursos, con todas sus sinergias y compensaciones que resultan de esta relación. Por lo tanto, esta investigación tiene como finalidad explicar cómo se fue desarrollando el concepto desde sus orígenes en la Conferencia Nexus de Bonn en 2011, cuáles han sido las herramientas y metodologías de análisis más empleadas y finalmente, observar algunos casos de éxito. Concluyéndose que lograr un análisis integral de los tres recursos y no evaluar cada recurso por separado, proporcionará una serie de estrategias que ayudarán a reducir los efectos adversos de tipo ambiental, social y económico.
