This book explores the nexus among food, energy and water in
peri-urban areas, demonstrating how relevant this nexus is for
environmental sustainability. In particular it examines the
effective management of the nexus in the face of the risks and
trade-offs of mitigation policies, and as a mean to create
resilience to climate change. The book delineates strategies and
actions necessary to develop and protect our natural resources and
improve the functionality of the nexus, such as: integrated
management of the major resources that characterize the metabolism
of a city, stronger coordination among stakeholders who often
weight differently the services that are relevant to their
individual concerns, integration of efforts towards environmental
protection, adaptation to and prevention of climate change and
disaster risks mitigation.
