Such a model would include all the different components related to water and energy, and be able to evaluate the impact on food security and agriculture production. Thus, food security and agriculture sustainability find its critical and complex footprint at the nexus of water, energy, food (WEF) and climate change in Morocco, and other regions of the world.
