Solutions to the food shortage, demand for clean water, and need for energy for a current world population of 7 billion are the greatest challenges today, which require technological innovation and changes in public policy. This new book provides a broad overview of the nexus of water-food-energy and its relationship with climate and sustainable development, which have huge impact on water and food availability. The volume presents case studies for the management of water, energy, agricultural growth, and food security using empirical analyses and technological interventions. It explores innovations in sustainable food production; energy solutions using biofuels, solar energy, and magnetic energy; and water conservation management.

As is well known, fossil fuels and food waste are significant contributors to the climate change crisis. Conversion of food waste to energy can help solving or mitigating these problems by providing a sustainable energy alternative to fossil fuels. This book provides an overview of technologies to convert food waste to energy. It explains the rationale behind this approach and describes different methods of turning food waste into energy, factors affecting the productivity of these processes, and the advantages and challenges of these technologies. Current research in the field and selected case studies are also described.
