This study analyzes the application of the BUMDes SOP in Ngadirejo Village, Widang District, regarding the irrigation of Hippa Rice Fields. The aim is to identify obstacles in optimizing BUMDes in villages and the importance of implementing SOPs to achieve the Sixteenth SDGS related to village welfare through village institutions. This study uses a case study method with a qualitative approach and collects data through interviews, observation, and documentation. In its implementation, the BUMDes SOP Ngadirejo Village faces challenges, including a lack of community participation and limited human resources. However, through the rice field irrigation program, BUMDes have played an important role in supporting village economic growth by creating jobs, increasing farmers' income. According to the report, BUMDes Ngadirejo Village need to optimize their operations with innovative techniques to improve village economic performance and growth. This is expected to achieve sustainable development goals and improve the welfare of rural communities.

“…Liu et al 62 proposes a study to investigate the interplay between water, food, and energy (WFE) in China and propose a solution that supports sustainable food production and conserves hydropower potential. The authors used artificial intelligence techniques and a three-faceted approach, including optimizing multi-sectoral water allocation, maximizing small-hydropower installation, and leveraging the synergistic benefits of the WFE Nexus.…”

“…The NEXUS concept seeks to optimize such interlinked relations among the three sectors and improve the overall efficiency's usage of resources (Okonkwo et al, 2023). Water, particularly for irrigation, is recognized as the cornerstone in framing the WFE nexus (Cai et al, 2018, Liu et al, 2019. Water is an input for producing agricultural goods; energy is needed to produce and distribute water and food.…”

WEF nexus refers to using natural resources to address water, energy, and food security in the context of social and economic needs. The demand for WEF resources in Mediterranean countries increases with the ongoing growth in population and transition toward more prosperous economies. In this regard, the involvement of all nexus ecosystem actors in innovation and policy-making processes gained more attention over time. In this context, a methodological approach, such as living labs, emerged as a platform to achieve inclusivity and participation in addressing WEFN challenges in Mediterranean countries. Due to the concept's relative newness, this paper explores the implementability of WEF living labs in Mediterranean countries. In this line, the paper seeks to identify the needs and potential domains of support for WEF living labs by investigating the external landscape of the WEF ecosystem in 7 MED countries: Egypt, Spain, Italy, Tunis, Jordan, Lebanon and Cyprus. This investigation aims to build an understanding of the environmental context through extended PESTEL analysis and explore the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats as well as necessary actions to be taken by conducting extended SWOT and SOR analyses per each involved country. The findings show the MED countries share many similarities regarding the external and internal context of creating WEF living labs. MED countries could pursue various innovative system improvements targeting WEF challenges. However, many challenges still exist in the current WEF nexus environment, particularly on the WEF-innovation policy framework level and the difficulty of achieving alignment and orchestration of WEF ecosystem stakeholders. These results ensure the significant role the WEF living labs approach could play in addressing WEF challenges in MED countries.
