To become a renowned global research center and the first port of call for intelligent solutions in the Food, Energy, and Water Space.

In achieving the vision statement, the research center's missions are;

• Developing intelligent systems and technological solutions will lead to the sustainable management of food, energy, and water resources.
• Provision of template, policy guides, frameworks, and technologies, for optimal production and waste reduction of three resources and their nexus.
• Leverage developmental concepts such as cleaner production, cleaner technology, value chain management, and circular economy in the sustainable management of Food, Energy, and Water Resources.
• Optimize and apply the technologies of the fourth industrial revolution (4IR) technologies in achieving Food, Energy and Water sustainability via research in Water 4.0, Energy 4.0, and Agric – Food 4.0.

• Liaise and collaborate with relevant government agencies, international organizations, businesses, Multinational companies, and non – profit organizations to manage FEW resources.
• Providing relevant training and Short Learning programs on applying 4IR technologies in the food, energy, and water space.
• Publication of relevant research outputs via the center's Journal of Digital Food, Energy & Water Systems (JD – FEWS).
• Conduct standardized research in the Food, Energy-Water space.

The objectives of the research center include;

• The design of intelligent mechanisms and algorithms to improve the efficiency, functionality, connectivity, robustness and adaptability of Food, Energy, and Water Systems.
• Undertake multi-disciplinary Food, Energy, and Water systems research;
• Publish research findings through multiple formats, but significantly articles in accredited journals and academic books;
• Actively create Intellectual Property (IP) from research activities via the Technology Transfer Office (TTO)

• Support the supervision of postgraduate (M & D) students and postdoctoral fellows who will be engaged in various research agendas as will be conceptualized by the center;.
• Organize and support seminars, webinars, workshops, and conferences;
• Provide briefings and commentary for the media where necessary on Food, Energy, and Water
• Engage with the civil society as deemed necessary in Food, Energy, and Water matters;
