Energy efficiency within green solutions for management of water-energy-food-environment nexus

Abstract

Energy efficiency is one of the most important research subjects in the process of optimal utilization of energy and water for food production, taking care of the environment. This is the requirement of efficient production and use of green renewable energy within the nexus water-energy-food-environment. Increasing number of inhabitants on the Globe require more energy, water and food. All technologies for energy, water and food production mast respect the criteria of environmental protection. The hydro, solar and wind energy are renewable resources and on the same time they are one of the most sustainable ways of electric energy production. Besides the benefit of clean green energy, the landscape of big solar or wind power plants, or big hydro accumulation and their impact on the environment mast also be the subject for analyses. The aspect of land occupying is a cutting edge research in correlation with the complex goal of using land for food production. This paper presents a green solution for management of the nexus water-energy-food-environment, using renewable resources.
