Food, energy and water are indispensable resources that meet basic human needs, and maintaining a balance among these resources is essential to ensure global food security and social stability. However, the climate is deteriorating with increasing severity due to global warming, and issues such as widespread food shortages, water pollution, and energy depletion are causing concerns across the globe. The nexus of foodenergy- water (FEW) has become the most pressing and complex issue to be addressed at present. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic review of recent research achievements and challenges in the field of FEW. It first introduces the concept of few and related policies, explores the challenges and crises of the FEW systems by different urban scales, and summarizes and concludes the research on the multivariate elements of the FEW nexus. At the end of the paper, based on the analysis of the previous literature, the paper identifies the urgent gaps and challenges that need to be addressed in future research.
