The Moveable Nexus (M-NEX): Design-led urban food, water, and energy management innovation in new boundary conditions of change, is a design research-based effort delivering FEW system assessment tools and pragmatic design solutions through stakeholder engaged living labs in six bioregions across the world. This co-design research initiative is based on three interdisciplinary knowledge platforms of design, evaluation, and participation. Each platform assembles, structures, and synthesizes existing knowledge, tools, data, methods, models and case studies for FEW nexus applications.

The Moveable Nexus (M-NEX): Design-led urban food, water, and energy management innovation in new boundary conditions of change, is a design research-based effort delivering FEW system assessment tools and pragmatic design solutions through stakeholder engaged living labs in six bioregions across the world. This co-design research initiative is based on three interdisciplinary knowledge platforms of design, evaluation, and participation. Each platform assembles, structures, and synthesizes existing knowledge, tools, data, methods, models and case studies for FEW nexus applications.


The following tool compilation is part of the evaluation platform and is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF): Award 1832214 and Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO). Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this compilation are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the funding organization.

Metrics

The investigation applies scale (global/ regional/ national/ local), access (public/ private), year (2011-2019), intended user (researcher/ planner / policymakers) and publication type (website/ software/ journal article/ report) as metric for cataloguing the survey. All publications in the tool survey have been summarized in the later sections. The literature compiled here follows the timeline 2011-2019, that is after the release of two pivotal publications, Hoff (2011) and World Economic Forum (2011), that brought the concept of FEW-Nexus to global academic attention.


The following table lists projects and papers reviewing FEW tools and methodologies.

Title Scale Access Year Intended User Publication Type
The Water-Energy-Food Nexus: A systematic review of methods for nexus assessment Global Open 2018 Researchers / Policy Makers Journal Article
Energy modeling and the Nexus concept Global Public 2018 Researchers / Policy Makers Journal Article
Quantifying the Water-Energy-Food Nexus: Current Status and Trends Global Public 2016 Researcher Journal Article
Water-Energy-Food (WEF) Nexus Tool 2.0: Guiding integrative resource planning and decision making Regional Private 2015 Researcher / Planners / Policy Maker Journal Article , Website
Scaling up Agriculture in City-Regions to mitigate FEW Systems Impact Global Public 2016 Researcher / Planners / Urban Designers / Policy Maker University Publication / White Paper
Complexity versus simplicity in water energy food nexus (WEF) assessment tools Global Private 2018 Researcher Journal Article
Global Climate, Land, Energy & Water Strategies (CLEWS) Global Public 2012 Researcher Journal Article, Website
