Abstract: Water, energy, and food systems have been deteriorating in security, stability, and sustainability throughout their extraction, production, and utilization, forcing the water-energy-food nexus to face security issues such as competition and mismatch between the systems' resources and environmental pollution. Consequently, a holistic evaluation of sustainable development among these systems is necessary, employing a suitability-focused perspective.
