水-能源-食品(WEF)关系已成为分析这三个系统之间相互作用和相互依存的一个流行且潜在强大的框架。尽管在这一领域进行跨学科研究的理由已经提出，但利益相关者参与研究的程度仍然有限，最常见的是作为最终用户纳入研究中的利益相关者。然而，利益相关者以各种方式与纽带问题进行互动，因此，合作可能会为发展纽带研究和加强其应用提供很多帮助。本文概述了纽带研究的四个方面，并考虑了每一个方面的跨学科研究的价值和潜在挑战。我们的重点是评估和可视化关联系统；了解治理和能力建设；规模的重要性；以及未来变化的影响。然后，本文描述了一种新的混合方法研究，它将利益相关者的知识与来自多个学科的见解深度整合。我们认为，混合方法研究设计--在这种情况下，以许多案例研究为导向--最适合于理解和解决现实世界中的相互联系的挑战，以及它们不可避免的复杂、非线性系统特征。此外，以本文描述的方式整合多种形式的知识，使研究能够评估网络空间扩大创新的潜力和过程，为政策和决策提供洞察力。
The water–energy–food (WEF) nexus has become a popular, and potentially powerful, frame through which to analyse interactions and interdependencies between these three systems. Though the case for transdisciplinary research in this space has been made, the extent of stakeholder engagement in research remains limited with stakeholders most commonly incorporated in research as end-users. Yet, stakeholders interact with nexus issues in a variety of ways, consequently there is much that collaboration might offer to develop nexus research and enhance its application. This paper outlines four aspects of nexus research and considers the value and potential challenges for transdisciplinary research in each. We focus on assessing and visualising nexus systems; understanding governance and capacity building; the importance of scale; and the implications of future change. The paper then proceeds to describe a novel mixed-method study that deeply integrates stakeholder knowledge with insights from multiple disciplines. We argue that mixed-method research designs—in this case orientated around a number of cases studies—are best suited to understanding and addressing real-world nexus challenges, with their inevitable complex, non-linear system characteristics. Moreover, integrating multiple forms of knowledge in the manner described in this paper enables research to assess the potential for, and processes of, scaling-up innovations in the nexus space, to contribute insights to policy and decision making.
