Food-energy-water nexus in traditional rural households to achieve sustainability goals:Framework construction
The interconnected systems of household food,energy,and water(FEW)are deeply intertwined.Adjusting management policies for one resource can significantly influence the other two,thus requiring a deeper understanding of their nexus relationships.In traditional rural household,the underutilization of roofs and courtyards presents a substantial opportunity for resource optimization.However,the FEW policy frameworks designed for urban households are not directly transferable to rural households,particularly those preserving traditional village characteristics.Through an analysis of consumption patterns in Chinese traditional rural households and a critical review of nexus policy designs both domestically and internationally,this study developed a novel FEW nexus policy analysis framework tailored for traditional rural households.This framework comprised a FEW household consumption module,a roof/courtyard utilization module,and a policy input and output module.It effectively highlighted the points of cross-boundary nexus effects during policy implementation,enhancing our comprehension of resource utilization and clarifying management trajectories.The framework serves as a tool to gather and shape policies pertinent to traditional rural households,evaluate policy impacts,refine policy approaches,and ultimately support sustainable rural development and revitalization efforts.
