The Center for Natural Resources and Development (CNRD) is a network of universities from around the world established in 2009 with the aim to contribute to creation and sharing of knowledge on the various interactions between natural resources and development. In this sense CNRD decided to support the organization of the First Conference of Natural Resources and Development, oriented this year towards some of the most significant human problems related to Food, Water and Energy Security. The idea of inviting to such a conference was born during the 2012 CNRD Annual Meeting held at Aims Sham University in Cairo and immediately received encouragement and support from the representative of United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The board of partner universities of CNRD requested Pontificia Universidad Cat贸lica de Valparaiso to be the host of this first conference with the option to turn it into a regular event. After a year of preparation we can be extremely satisfied with the significant response from the scientific community from all around the world. The call for papers made at the beginning of this year yielded an unexpected large number of abstracts for oral and poster presentations submitted by researchers, as well as by doctoral and master graduate students from all continents. This success demonstrates that the topic suggested by the organizers was perceived as a crucial issue of high relevance. Thus, the organizers are pleased to present this document containing all the abstracts accepted for the conference. But it should be annotated that this event would not have been possible without the great support from our donors. We especially thank BMZ, DAAD, UNEP, CONICYT and CUAS. Also, we would like to thank all the scientists who generously reviewed the abstracts; of course we also thank our special guests, the Keynote Speakers, who add further relevance to this International Conference. Last, but not least, we thank all the assistants and personnel who did the detailed work! We hope you find this document helpful and look forward to your participation in this conference to make it truly successful!
