By Melissa M. Rohde. The food, energy, and water sectors are inextricably linked. However, existing governance landscapes often make it difficult for governments to address and adapt to new and continuing challenges in securing food, energy, and water. This disconnect is often driven by a fragmented governance landscape with strong sectorial boundaries that segregate responsibilities, thereby hindering coordination and creating legal inconsistencies between sectors. These challenges exist in many countries around the world, but are most pronounced in India where more than one-tenth of the Earth’s population resides.
