Abstract
The relationship between the main components of the life chain - water-energy-consumption according to the concept of environmental sustainability was investigated. According to the analysis, the balance between production and consumption is disturbed in the world, which is caused by wars, economic recession, poverty, and in some countries, famine. The Russian war aggression in Ukraine had a devastating effect on the supply of grain and other crops to countries that are still developing. All this indicates the need for new ways of obtaining food, new technologies for water purification and economy of consumption in the world. Humanity needs solutions to such vital problems as drinking water and food. After all, their lack affects the state of health of the population, increasing the level of morbidity and epidemics, including during the spread of a pandemic. The economic costs of improving water and energy supply are steadily increasing, both in poor and developed countries. Therefore, cooperation of all states and their governments in forming the water-energy- food balance is important today.
