Nexus Gains Talk 16

Wednesday October 18, 2023 | 18:30–19:30 IST (15:30 - 16:30 pm CEST)

Food and nutrition security can only be achieved with sufficient water of adequate quality, quantity, and reliability. Lack of adequate water affects not only food production, but all components of food systems. Moreover, uncoordinated food and water security strategies limit progress on SDG2 on zero hunger and SDG6 on water and sanitation. Identifying and assessing solutions that jointly support water and food security, and monitoring progress on water–food systems linkages are critical as climate extremes and other stressors increasingly threaten access to water for all. This NEXUS Gains Talk will discuss the role of water productivity in ensuring that water is used in ways that support food security and nutrition and leave no one behind.

Speakers

Bruce Lankford, University of East Anglia, UK: Governing irrigation efficiency to solve the four-body problem of lowering water consumption whilst not cutting food production, increasing CO2 emissions and reducing water equity
