Climate change puts an additional stress on water availability and quality, and causes extreme events (floods /droughts) that have severe socioeconomic and environmental consequences. Actions to mitigate and adapt to climate change and variability can have strong implications for the surface and ground water system and its users. Changes in energy usage and types of energy production (for example, fossil fuels replaced by hydropower or biofuels) affect water usage and impact agricultural production. The resulting conflicts in allocation of water and between the water, energy and food sectors, cause additional concerns for the sustainable management of surface and ground water bodies, especially the transboundary ones, where a very large proportion of the world's population lives.

Addressing the strong nexus between water, climate, energy and food is essential to achieve the objectives of the European Green Deal, which aims at making the EU's economy sustainable by turning climate and environmental challenges into opportunities across all policy areas. The Green Deal roadmap proposes actions to boost efficient use of resources by moving to a clean and circular economy, achieve climate neutrality, revert biodiversity loss, cut pollution and provide a fair, healthy and environmental-friendly food system. Water is a key element in all these actions. A climate-water-energy-food nexus will help to address these complex and interlinked challenges by exploiting available synergies across all policy areas of the European Green Deal, maximise coherence and promote positive trade-offs between different policies.

The EU's research and innovation programme, Horizon 2020 (2014-2020) has supported several projects to assess the water-energy-food nexus at various geographical scales and from a systemic point of view.

The following projects provide interesting insights for policy implementation:

SIM4NEXUS: Sustainable Integrated Management for the NEXUS of water-land-food-energy-climate for a resource-efficient Europe

DAFNE: Use of a Decision-Analytic Framework to explore the water-energy-food Nexus in complex and trans-boundary water resources systems of fast growing developing countries.

MAGIC: Moving Towards Adaptive Governance in Complexity: Informing Nexus Security

The last 2020 work programme of the Horizon 2020 Societal Challenge "Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials" included a dedicated call aiming to enhance knowledge and best practices in climate-water-energy-food nexus assessment and management and help create critical mass on capacity to innovate.

The three selected projects from this call will soon start :

NEXOGENESIS: Facilitating the next generation of effective and intelligent water-related policies utilising artificial intelligence and reinforcement learning to assess the water-energy-food-ecosystem nexus

REXUS: Managing resilient nexus systems through participatory systems dynamics modelling

GoNEXUS: Innovative tools and solutions for governing the water-energy-food-ecosystems nexus under global change

Additional projects have been supported in the context of the Partnership on Research and Innovation in the Mediterranean Area ( PRIMA) and the ERANET Sustainable Urbanisation Global Initiative ( EN-SUGI).

PRIMA is an initiative created under Horizon 2020. Its main objective is to devise new research and innovation approaches, including the complex interface between water, energy, food and ecosystems, to improve water availability and sustainable agriculture production in the Mediterranean region, heavily distressed by climate change, urbanisation and population growth.

By linking the activity of the Joint Programming Initiative (JPI) Urban Europe and the Belmont Forum (BF), EN-SUGI aims to develop solutions to help cities around the globe to meet the needs of their citizens with respect to food, energy and water.

Wholesale and retail sale of ecological products 🌱

# data[].attributes.body
We have created a ecological products distribution network in Madrid for consumer groups, acting as bridge between farmers and consumers, betting on local agriculture.

We distribute products like: bread, milk, vegetables, eggs, wine, fruits, jams, preserves, cereals, rice, infusions, cosmetic and hygienic, and fair trade products (like coffee, panela...)

If we have perishable products in stock, we donate them to soup kitchens in the area.

Orders are made though the internet making the delivery thought vehicles with low CO2 emissions from a consumer group.

* Provide experience and training to agricultural producers:  advise companies and producers who want to switch to ecological production.
* Sell and retail ecological products.
* Collaborating in ecological development and adaptation and mitigation climate change projects
* Dissemination and awareness in schools and companies.

The conventional industrial agricultural sector uses fertilizers and phytosanitary products in order to control natural systems, ignoring many of the environmental aspects and unbalancing ecosystems.

The result is the deforestation and the implantation of systems much poorer in biodiversity.

We collaborate whit schools from Madrid, to make their owns school orchard.
In this types of projects we provide the material and organize practices with teachers and childrens. We agree talks with them to promote nature values.

# data[].attributes.body
We met at the university and shared our concerns about the impact of conventional agriculture not only in the environment but also in the quality of life of future generations. We dreamed about someday being able to change that and a few years later we are finally ready to start this amazing journey together, hoping to make a difference in this world.

We are working in an ecological exploitation of fruits of the forest in a municipally of Segovia.

One of the main features of the project is that in the harvest time offered an experience of agritourism. Children's and adults can recollect the berrys and connect with the nature.

Ecological productions are diverse systems where every component has a purpose and the interactions between them have a positive impact on the biological and chemical cycles of microorganisms. Flora and fauna coexist in a balanced sustainable environment where nature is respected and there is no need of industrial supplies.

Some techniques of ecological agriculture are:

* Organic fertilization exclusively

* Crop rotation

* Promoting natural enemies

* Crop association like the combination of cucurbitaceous, legumes and corn (MILPA).

We believe in a different way of producing food as a company: more natural and respectful with human and earth health, focused on reduce carbon footprint.
