Abstract
Trade is a key feature of the FEW Nexus. Typically, the practical goals of the Nexus are straightforward - decrease demands for FEW commodities, increase supplies, increase storage buffers, increase transportation and trade capacity and connectivity, and do so in the presence of climate change, population growth, growing wealth and consumption, and dietary changes. Trade is a powerful tool in achieving practical goals in FEW systems.
