Decision-Making Theory and Methodology for Water, Energy and Food Security, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the water–energy–food nexus has become an increasingly significant and active area of research in economic and management science. The safety of water, energy and food is another important problem. These problems can be considered as multi-criteria decision-making problems. However, there are few studies that consider these problems from the perspective of multi-criteria decision-making. Theories of decision-making are routinely based on the notion that decision-makers choose alternatives that align with their underlying preferences, and hence their preferences can be inferred from their choices. The aim of this Special Issue is to develop various decision-making theories and methodologies for water, energy and food, including the evaluation of water supply, wastewater management, energy, food risk management, safety management, etc.
