大部分政策都是快速制定的，并朝着答案发展。这种做法导致以短期思维选择问题，提供一个狭隘的解决方案，很少考虑与总体系统其他部分的联系。短期和“常识性”的解决办法往往会产生意想不到的后果，从长远来看，这种后果可能会比根本不采取行动的情况更糟。粮食、能源和水之间的关系表明，需要采取综合办法来评估替代环境管理办法并确定政策举措。成功的解决方案要求我们提出正确的问题，而这些问题应该通过了解生态系统的复原力如何影响提供生态系统服务和可持续社会结构的能力来了解。通过明确地将复原力与可持续性目标联系起来，并衡量一个社会的期望使用率和相关的生态产品和服务的总可用存量，利益攸关方可以解决“问题”是什么，只有这样才能了解支持生态系统实际上可以以公平和经济的方式提供什么。
Much of policy is fast-tracked and driven toward answers. This approach engenders selecting a problem with short-term thinking, offering a narrowly focussed solution, and seldom considering the linkages to other parts of the overarching system. Short-term and ‘common-sense’ solutions often bear unintended consequences that may produce worse situations over the long term than if no action had been taken at all. The nexus of food, energy, and water illustrates the need for a holistic approach to evaluating alternative environmental management options and settling on policy initiatives. Successful solutions demand that we ask the right questions, and these should be informed by an understanding of how resilience of ecological systems influences the ability to provide ecosystem services and sustainable societal structures. By explicitly tying resilience to sustainability goals and gaging a society’s desired rate of use and associated total available stock of ecological goods and services, stakeholders can settle on what ‘the’ questions are and only then understand what the supporting ecological systems can actually provide in an equitable and economic fashion.
