Resource Integration

Integrated EWFN Resource Planning

Resource integration refers to a comprehensive planning process used to support development that evaluates the potential for energy, water and food resources to meet future needs. As opposed to considering each resource individually, using an integrated approach ensures the needs of each sector are represented to both reduce impacts and devise holistic solutions. Integrated resource plans identify future resource needs and contributing factors that affect these needs, devise cross-sectoral strategies to meet needs and establish action plans to achieve desired outcomes.
