To explore the integrated security of water-energy-food system, 26 indicators were selected from six aspects: water security, energy security, food security, water-energy system security, water-energy system security, energy-food system security; the frequency analysis method was used to construct the integrated security evaluation index system for water-energy-food systems. Then, the matter-element expansion model was refined and used to assess the overall security of the water, energy and food

To address the dual constraints of resource shortages and environmental degradation, the water resource green efficiency (WRGE) concept, which takes into account socioeconomic and green development, has been adopted as a basis for implementation of cleaner production strategies and sustainable economic development. In the present study, the meta-frontier undesirable super-efficiency slack-based measure (Meta-US-SBM) model, which allows for technological heterogeneity across regions, was employed to estimate WRGE in 38 regions in the four-city area in middle China in 2010–2019, and the technology gaps of different regions and categories were discussed. Subsequently, the improvement potential of WRGE (WEIP) in different regions was mapped using the slacks of water resource ecological footprint input and GDP output obtained using the Meta-US-SBM model. According to the results, the regions with the highest average WRGE under group-frontier and meta-frontier groups were Huangshi and Qianjiang, respectively, whereas the category with the highest average WRGE was EOU (regions where economic benefits outmatch urbanization benefits). Surprisingly, the WRGE technology gaps among different regions and categories showed considerable differences. We observed a negative correlation between WEIP and WRGE. Moreover, there were obvious differences in water resource ecological footprint improvement potential among different regions and categories.

This study evaluated the eco-efficiency of rainfed and irrigated maize production in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Environmental impact assessments were performed through energy, carbon footprint, and water scarcity footprint analysis. For economic analysis, gross and net returns and benefit–cost ratios were calculated. Eco-efficiency was measured by the ratio between the net return and environmental criteria. The findings indicate that the transition from rainfed to irrigated maize cultivation per uni
