I'm currently taking an online course offered by UBC through edX. The course is called Blue is the new Green: the Water Food Energy Land Nexus. I decided to participate in the course because I would like to gain a better understanding of how these systems are connected and I'd like to learn about various solutions for the global water crisis.
Each week we watch a series of videos and read some assigned readings. There is also an online discussion group that allows participants to communicate with each other and the course instructors. Last week, one of my coursemates posted this video. The video is a good explanation of what the word nexus means when we are discussing these systems. The video is produced by a large international company that brews beer and bottles pop. Some of that bias comes through in the video, of course, but it does give a good overview with interesting graphics, which I always appreciate.
