Overview

The World Business Council for Sustainable Development has released the report "Co-optimizing Solutions: Water and Energy for Food, Feed and Fiber" in 2014. The report reveals how the world’s growing demand for food and other agricultural products can be met while minimizing environmental impact, with multiple benefits on yields, resource use (energy, water, land...) and climate change mitigation/adaptation. Smart and scalable solutions to the  interconnected water, energy and food, feed and fiber challenges are presented.
