WATER, ENERGY & FOOD NEXUS
“By 2050, the demand for energy will nearly double globally, with water and food demand estimated to increase by over 50%. The ability of existing water, energy and food systems to meet this growing demand, meanwhile, is constrained given the competing needs for limited resources. The challenge of meeting growing demand is further compounded by climate change impacts.”
AGRIBUSINESS & BIOENERGY
“When managed sustainably and efficiently, bioenergy development could create new markets and generate employment opportunities that could positively affect incomes and poverty reduction, while also contributing to environmental objectives. …… In general, experience has shown that energy produced from biomass can contribute to food security as long as it is sustainably produced and managed.”
