Breaking down The Water-Energy-Food Nexus and the Power of Duckweeds with Femeena Valappil

<p><strong>We often hear about the energy-water-food nexus, but what does it actually mean? &nbsp;In this episode of the SDG Talks Podcast, Femeena Valappil breaks down the myths around this concept and sheds light around the most recent science around this field. &nbsp;Femenna recently joined Penn State University as a Postdoctoral scholar where her research focuses on developing sustainable solutions at the water-food-energy nexus. Currently, she studies growing duckweeds as a potential medium for nutrient recovery from wastewaters and further using them as a source of food and feedstock. &nbsp;Her other research interests mainly include hydrological and water quality modeling, sustainable farming practices, and bioenergy production.</strong></p> <p><strong>Linkedin: </strong><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/femeena-pandara-valappil-0697666b/"><u><strong>https://www.linkedin.com/in/femeena-pandara-valappil-0697666b/</strong></u></a></p> <p><strong>News: </strong><a href="https://www.aguecohydrology.org/blog-adding-our-leaves/meet-a-leaf-femeena-pandara-valappil"><u><strong>https://www.aguecohydrology.org/blog-adding-our-leaves/meet-a-leaf-femeena-pandara-valappil</strong></u></a></p>
