MEET THE NEXUS HOW FOOD WATER AND ENERGY ARE CONNECTED C CMEET THE NEXUS HOW FOOD WATER AND ENERGY ARE CONNECTED CMEET THE NEXUS HOW FOOD WATER AND ENERGY ARE CONNECTED CONSIDER A SLICE OF PIZZA AT FIRST GLANCE it seems pretty basic ?? dough tomato sauce and cheese But if you consider where they came from those three ingredients have a rich story to tell Think of the water and energy that go into these three everyday items You need water to grow the wheat that ? s milled into our you add water to the our and yeast to make the dough you need water to produce the gooey mozzarella and it takes water to grow the tomatoes that make up the sauce You don ? t see this ??hidden water ? in your slice of pizza but it ? s there There ? s the energy that goes directly into baking the pie but there ? s also the hidden energy that goes into farming the crops think tractors and fossil fuels required to produce fertilizers and pesticides processing and distributing the ingredients and even the energy that was required to manufacture the pizza oven You may not have realized it but even a simple slice of pizza involves a global distribution network industrial agriculture fossil fuels and a lot of water That ? s the food water and energy nexus in a slice CFlour gallons Cheese gallons Sauce gallons Did you know that it takes gallons of water to make one slice of pizza CMEET THE NEXUS HOW FOOD WATER AND ENERGY ARE CONNECTED The food water and energy nexus is simply where and how these three systems interconnect ? It takes water and energy ?? and lots of it ?? to produce the food you eat ? Energy is used to move water to your home and clean up the water you send down the drain ? Water is required to run power plants safely and to produce oil gas and coal ? Some food crops are turned into fuel for vehicles When these three systems come into con ict with each other there are consequences for public health the economy and the natural world Events like drought oil spills and rising food prices all underscore their relationships The more you dig into these interconnections the more of a riddle they seem but don ? t be overwhelmed What we do every day a ?ects the food water and energy nexus and the nexus in turn a ?ects our everyday life By thinking more broadly about these interconnections we can build a more sustainable future ? CMEET THE NEXUS HOW FOOD WATER AND ENERGY ARE CONNECTED NEXUS DEFINED FOOD A FOOD SYSTEM includes the activities resources and people involved in bringing food from the farm to the table Crops feedlots trucks fertilizers markets and even our own kitchens are all part of the food system CMEET THE NEXUS HOW FOOD WATER AND ENERGY ARE CONNECTED
