粮食-水-能源关系（FWE 关系）的概念提出了传统部门方法的替代范式，用于管理自然资源，同时促进气候适应能力和可持续发展。然而，由于概念的复杂性以及将跨学科和当地知识与资源管理者可用的治理结构相结合的挑战，在城市环境中应用 FWE 关系受到了限制。这项来自罗马尼亚图尔恰的案例研究探讨了用于分析当前社会挑战和实践背景下 FWE 关系动态特征的参与过程。本研究中提出的参与性研究活动重点关注 FWE 关系中的“食品”组成部分（即当地蔬菜市场），同时探索与水（灌溉和水质）和能源（消耗和可再生能源）的联系。结果说明了采用跨学科综合方法来理解这种关系的效用，特别是对于 FWE 系统集成在更广泛的可持续发展计划中的局部应用。
The concept of the food-water-energy nexus (FWE nexus) presents an alternative paradigm to traditional sectoral approaches for managing natural resources while promoting climate resilience and sustainable development. Applying the FWE nexus in the urban context, however, has been limited due to the complexity of the concept and the challenges of integrating interdisciplinary and local knowledge with the governance structure available to resource managers. This case study from Tulcea, Romania explores the participatory process used to analyze the dynamic character of the FWE nexus in the context of current societal challenges and practices. Participatory research activities presented in this study focused on the 'food' component of the FWE nexus (i.e., local vegetable markets), while exploring connections with water (irrigation and water quality) and energy (consumption and renewable energy sources). The results illustrate the utility of adopting a transdisciplinary integrative approach to understanding the nexus, particularly for local-scale applications of the FWE system integrations within broader sustainable development initiatives.
