Renewable Energy Technologies towards Food-Energy-Water Security Nexus

Dear Colleagues,

One of the greatest problems facing humanity today is sustainably delivering electrical energy, water, and food security. Food and water security are provided by the generation of energy from renewable energy sources, such as wind turbines, solar panels, wave energy sources, biohydrogen, and hydropower systems. This Special Issue aims to connect scientists from various research fields to discuss the vision for a Water–Energy–Food ecosystem.

We are pleased to invite you to share your research and submit manuscripts in the field of industrial development and energy evolution for an upcoming Special Issue of Sustainability. This Special Issue aims to open a debate on how the ecosystems that provide us with natural resources and the human activities that impact upon them could be controlled responsibly. Today's society is characterized by a high demand for electrical energy, and our direction of development must be focused on renewable energy resources whose uses affect the food ecosystem. The main key in the transformation of electrical energy lies in the strategic decisions we will take regarding natural resources, which require careful monitoring and appropriate interaction.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. We are seeking to achieve a multifaceted discussion on the management and use of energy, land, and water, energy efficiency control system development, distributed energy system design, renewable energy systems, food production as it relates to energy and water, and the latest developments in the area of anaerobic digester outputs.
