Interconnected food, energy, and water (FEW) nexus system experiences many challenges to maintain human wellbeing (HWB) and resilience, especially in arid regions like New Mexico (NM), USA. Insufficient FEW resources, irregular economic growth due to fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas prices, inequitable education and employment, and climate change are among the challenges that also acts as drivers of FEW nexus. Enhancing the resilience of such coupled natural-human systems in response to these drivers (e.g., climate change and socioeconomic stresses) depends on efficient use of resources, understanding the interlinkages across FEW components, and adopting adaptable alternative management plans. The goal of this study was to develop an integrated FEW-HWB framework to enhance resilience of these systems referred to here in as FEW-WISE. Therefore, an integrated Food, Energy, Water, Well-beIng, and reSiliEnce framework (i.e., FEW-WISE) was developed for quantitative assessment of FEW systems’ relationships, identification of important external drivers, predictive modeling, and threshold-based resilience monitoring determined by FEW-HWB performance metrics (i.e., indices). The integrated FEW-WISE framework evaluates and predicts the behavior of FEW systems in response to environmental and socioeconomic shocks. System-based dynamic modeling of FEW-HWB relationships along with the performance metrics have the potential to serve as a measure of resilience that can inform decision-making processes. In conclusion, the derived resilience metrics can be used to develop alternative scenario-based management strategies to enhance resilience and sustainability of ecological and socioeconomic wellbeing of vulnerable regions like New Mexico.

食品,能源和水的综合联系,人类福祉和复原力(FEW-WISE)框架:新墨西哥

互连的食品,能源和水(FEW)关系系统在维持人类福祉(HWB)和复原力方面面临许多挑战,尤其是在美国新墨西哥州(NM)等干旱地区。FEW资源不足,由于原油和天然气价格波动导致的不规则经济增长,不平等的教育和就业以及气候变化都是挑战,也成为FEW关系的驱动力。增强这些耦合的自然-人类系统对这些驱动因素(例如气候变化和社会经济压力)的适应能力,取决于有效利用资源,了解FEW各个组成部分之间的相互联系以及采用适应性的替代管理计划。这项研究的目的是开发一个集成的FEW-HWB框架,以增强这些系统的弹性(在本文中称为FEW-WISE)。因此,开发了一个集成的食品,能源,水,健康和复原力框架(即FEW-WISE)来定量评估FEW系统的关系,识别重要的外部驱动因素,预测模型和基于阈值的弹性监控由FEW-HWB绩效指标(即指标)确定。集成的FEW-WISE框架评估和预测FEW系统对环境和社会经济冲击的反应。FEW-HWB关系的基于系统的动态建模以及性能指标有可能用作衡量决策过程的弹性的度量。综上所述,
