The nexus of water, energy and food in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region of China

With the increase of population and economic development, the supply of food, energy and water resources cannot meet the growing demand and is facing a tense situation of shortage (Bazilian et al., 2012). In this context, it is urgent to fully understand the relationship between agricultural development, energy production and water resources, and introduce relevant policies from the policy and institutional level to promote the sustainable development of food, energy and water resources.

Water, Energy and Food are closely related and influence each other. This PhD research aims to model these interactions for specific regions in China
