What insights emerge when policymakers & researchers rethink #WEFNexus?

Here’s a look at a recent dialogue co-hosted by the SARChI–TRCTI, #SATIED & Centre for Sustainability Transitions, where partners explored funding gaps, policy experimentation & collaboration.

15 days until Dresden Nexus Conference #DNC2025 (go.unu.edu/liYfD), and 3 days that covers all facets of the #ResourceNexus / #WEFNexus. If all goes well, the first detailed programme will become available tomorrow - be sure to check out our website for updates!

20 days until Dresden Nexus Conference #DNC2025 (go.unu.edu/liYfD). No matter if you participate in #DNC2025 or not, why not take the #WEFNexus and #ResourceNexus Community Survey? go.unu.edu/Sfa9d

New CRAN package wefnexus with initial version 1.0.0

CRAN: Package wefnexus
Provides functions for analysing Water-Energy-Food-Nutrient-Carbon (WEFNC) nexus interactions in agricultural production systems. Includes functions for computing water use efficiency (WUE), water productivity (WP), and water footprint (WF) including green, blue, and grey components following the methodology of Hoekstra et al. (2011, ISBN:9781849712798). Includes energy budgeting tools for energy use efficiency (EUE), energy return on investment (EROI), net energy (NE), and energy productivity (EP). Computes nutrient use efficiency (NUE) metrics including agronomic efficiency (AE), physiological efficiency (PE), recovery efficiency (RE), and partial factor productivity (PFP) as defined by Dobermann (2007) &lt;<a href="https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/agronomyfacpub/316/" target="_top">https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/agronomyfacpub/316/</a>&gt; and Congreves et al. (2021) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.3389%2Ffpls.2021.637108" target="_top">doi:10.3389/fpls.2021.637108</a>&gt;. Estimates carbon footprint (CF), greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, and global warming potential (GWP) using Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) default values (CH4 = 27, N2O = 273) as reported in Forster et al. (2021) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1017%2F9781009157896.009" target="_top">doi:10.1017/9781009157896.009</a>&gt;. Computes composite Water-Energy-Food-Nutrient-Carbon (WEFNC) nexus indices, trade-off correlation matrices, and generates radar and heatmap visualizations for comparing agricultural treatments. Supports conservation agriculture (CA), irrigated and rain-fed systems, and arid and semi-arid production environments. Methods follow Lal (2004) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1016%2Fj.envint.2004.03.005" target="_top">doi:10.1016/j.envint.2004.03.005</a>&gt; for carbon emissions from farm operations, and Hoover et al. (2023) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1016%2Fj.scitotenv.2022.160992" target="_top">doi:10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.160992</a>&gt; for water use efficiency indicators.
