Conceptual Framework for Effects of GBI on FWE Nexus in Cities
Edible urban greenspaces play a crucial role in the food-water-energy nexus in cities. This literature review explores the interconnected activities in the food system and the various nexus types related to water, energy, and food production. Additionally, the mapping approach for understanding the dynamics of edible greenspaces in Taipei provides valuable insights for sustainable urban planning and management.

FWE of Edible Urban Greenspaces: Literature Review (WP6 (presented in Sao Paulo in 09/2019) Food system is defined as the chain of activities connecting food production, processing, distribution, consumption, and waste management, as well as the associated regulatory institutions and activities (Pothukuchi, & Kaufman, 2000). Nexus types Description Rainwater Grey water Tap water Waste water Irrigation to plants Water to food Hydropower Extracting water Pumping water Delivering water Water treatment Water to energy Energy to water Transporting materials (seeds, fertilizers, compost) from markets Food transport to markets Food delivery to consumers Building operation Logistical and storage process for food production Runoff retention Surface water drainage Regulation of micro-climate (cooling) and reduce energy consumption Bioenergy Transportation (food mile) Energy to food Food to water Food to energy
Mapping Approach for FEW Dynamics of the Edible GSs in Taipei (WP6 (presented in Sao Paulo in 09/2019) Conceptual framework based on expert interview, documentary review, and site observation.
