AB - As no systematic frameworks on the overall relationships in the  water-energy-food nexus have yet been developed, in this paper we sought to  quantify and capture the final key demand categories that impact China's  water-energy-food use. A co-operative and competitive coupling model was  developed for the quantitative analysis of the water-energy-food system  focused on sustainable water, energy and food production in the industrial,  agricultural, and livestock sectors, which share economic activities. The  results show that the consumption of energy and water has a certain  correlation with grain production, which is negatively correlated and the  correlation will be significantly reduced, while the amount of water is  positively correlated.
