Video // Water-food Nexus: Tackling Water Scarcity in the Context of Sustainable Development - Technical Briefing
The technical briefing will discuss how countries can address the dilemma of food production under limited water availability. Dr. Pasquale Steduto, FAO Regional Strategic Programmes Coordinator for the Near East and North Africa (NENA) will present the FAO NENA Water Scarcity Initiative, that provides a comprehensive framework to ensure the sustainable use and preservation of scarce water resources.
While the briefing focuses on the experience of countries of Western Asia and North Africa, findings are applicable and relevant for all countries facing water scarcity, thus will provide a platform for sharing knowledge and showcase examples from other regions as well.
The briefing has been organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and broadcasted via UN Web TV. Read more about the FAO NENA Water Scarcity Initiative on FAO's website.
