Abstract

The development of sustainable and resilient infrastructure systems to achieve food, energy, and water (FEW) security has received considerable attention in recent years. Despite this intense interest, only limited research has been performed on the similarities and differences of sustainability and resilience in a nexus context. It is the main purpose of this study to investigate to which extent does the sustainability of FEW systems enable us to successfully respond to the anticipated and the unexpected stresses and shocks. Unlike traditional approaches to study sustainability and resilience of FEW systems in a fragmented and isolated way, a literature review undertaken in this study is focused on integrated use of sustainability and resilience in a nexus context. Resilient FEW infrastructure are essential to the implementation of policies and actions with regard to sustainable development. A sustainable FEW system is defined as a system that can consistently meet its food, energy, and water demands with sustainable inputs rather than using non-renewable sources.
