Problem Statement
What is the Challenge?
Water-Energy-Food(WEF) nexus is a critical area of concern globally, yet remains largely under-researched in Pakistan and this part of the world. Millions are suffering from food and water related illnesses, and the number continues to rise. The issues encompassing WEF nexus have evolved more than an environmental concern into a global humanitarian crisis.
