[open-government] OGD for food, energy, water (FEW) nexus

Wed May 1 17:02:32 UTC 2013

Hello everyone,

I am preparing a talk on how open government data can help decision-makers
meet current and future food, energy and water (FEW) nexus needs. I would
appreciate if you could share some case studies or ideas on this issue.

The water, energy and food security nexus means that the three sectors -
water security, energy security and food security - are inextricably
linked, and that actions in one area more often than not have impacts in
one or both of the others. [1] [2]

FYI, A conference on open data for agriculture was just completed yesterday
on this issue. [3]
