Novel approaches for geospatial risk analytics in the energy–water–food nexus using an EWF nexus node
TLDR
A novel energy, water and food nexus ‘Node’ methodology is introduced which concludes that the critical factors that increase risk in open field farms are weather factors, such as temperature, solar radiation and humidity, whilst groundwater factors have the highest impact on conventional and hydroponic greenhouses.About:

A review of carbon capture and utilisation as a CO2 abatement opportunity within the EWF nexus
Ikhlas Ghiat,Tareq Al-Ansari +1 more
TL;DR: Carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) is considered an important CO2 mitigation strategy to support and compliment carbon capture and storage (CCS) objectives for the abatement and sequestration of CO2 as mentioned in this paper.

A Methodological Integrated Approach to Analyse Climate Change Effects in Agri-Food Sector: The TIMES Water-Energy-Food Module.
Maria Maddalena Tortorella,Maria Maddalena Tortorella,Senatro Di Leo,C. Cosmi,Patrícia Fortes,Mauro Viccaro,Mario Cozzi,Filomena Pietrapertosa,Monica Salvia,Severino Romano +9 more
TL;DR: The aim of the paper is to show the methodological path toward the implementation of an integrated modeling platform based on the Nexus approach and consolidated energy system analysis methods to represent the agri-food system in a circular economy perspective and to support decision-making connected to climate change mitigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparing the convergence and divergence within industrial ecology, circular economy, and the energy-water-food nexus based on resource management objectives
TL;DR: This review considers three popular concepts that support sustainable RM in terms of potential areas for convergence and divergence, which can help align the three guiding concepts into a combined holistic effort to manage resources depending on the problem considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water Planning Framework for Alfalfa Fields using Treated Wastewater Fertigation in Qatar: an Energy-Water-Food Nexus Approach
TL;DR: Results demonstrate that treated wastewater optimally provides the water and nutrient requirements to both farms, achieving reductions in greywater footprint, energy for transportation, and carbon footprint.

The Analytic Hierarchy Process
Thomas L. Saaty,Kevin P. Kearns +1 more
TL;DR: Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as mentioned in this paper is a systematic procedure for representing the elements of any problem hierarchically, which organizes the basic rationality by breaking down a problem into its smaller constituent parts and then guides decision makers through a series of pairwise comparison judgments to express the relative strength or intensity of impact of the elements in the hierarchy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decision making with the analytic hierarchy process
TL;DR: The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a theory of measurement through pairwise comparisons and relies on the judgements of experts to derive priority scales that measure intangibles in relative terms.

Decision Making with the Analytic Hierarchy Process
TL;DR: The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as discussed by the authors is a theory of measurement through pairwise comparisons and relies on the judgements of experts to derive priority scales, these scales are these scales that measure intangibles in relative terms.
