Abstract

The World Economic Forum has included Water-Energy-Food among the three major risk groups in the world, and Water-Energy-Food is related to the development strategies of countries and the lives of their citizens. This study calculates the combined Water-Energy-Food use efficiency in China for 2011-2020 based on the SBM-Malmquist index. The results show that the overall combined Water-Energy-Food efficiency in China is low, but shows an upward trend. There is a clear variability in the combined Water-Energy-Food utilization efficiency in China, with an overall geographic distribution pattern of East > Middle > West. Only Beijing and Shanghai have reached the real above effective nationwide, and all other provinces have inefficiency between input and output. The Malmquist index of integrated Water-Energy-Food utilization efficiency is 1.136, with an up ward trend, and technical efficiency and technological progress lead the improvement of integrated Water-Energy-Food utilization efficiency in China at the sametime. The Water-Energy-Food issue should be raised to a strategic level as soon as possible, and policy support should be provided for its development. Each region should establish a cross-regional coordinating body to formulate targeted measures according to the province's food production and water distribution, so as to promote economic transformation from sloppy development to green development as soon as possible.

2011년, 세계경제포럼(The World Economic Forum)은 물-에너지-식량을 세계 3대 위험군에 포함했다. 물-에너지-식량은 국가의 발전 전략과 국민의 삶과 관계된다. 본 연구에서는 SBM-Malmquist 지수를 기반으로 중국의 2011-2020년 물-에너지-식량 종합 이용 효율성을 계산한다. 측정 결과를 살펴보면, 중국 전체 물-에너지-식량의 종합 이용은 효율성이 낮으나 상승세를 보였다. 전국적으로 물-에너지-식량 종합 이용 효율성은 뚜렷한 차별성이 존재하며 전반적으로 동부> 중부> 서부의 지리적 분포 구도를 보인다. 전국에 Beijing과 Shanghai만 진정한 유효에 이르고 기타 각 성의 투입과 산출 사이에는 모두 비효율 상태가 존재한다. 물-에너지-식량 종합 이용 효율성의 Malmquist 지수는 1.136으로 상승세를 보이며 기술효율과 기술진보를 통해 중국의 물-에너지-식량 종합 이용 효율성의 향상을 이끌고 있다. 하루빨리 물-에너지-식량 문제에 있어 전략적높이를 끌어올려 그 발전에 대한 정책적 지원을 해야 한다. 각 지역은 지역 간 조율기구를 설립해야 하며 각 성의 식량 생산량, 수자원 분포 등 문제에 따라 맞춤형 조치를 제정해 경제가 조방형 발전에서 녹색 발전으로 전환되도록 조속히 추진해야 한다.
