Climate-Aggravated Water Scarcity as a Food Security Issue

14:2015:05

Climate change is exacerbating water scarcity around the world posing greater risk to food security. In this session, voices from different countries (farmers, implementers) will share their challenges and approaches to adapt to limited water availability in terms of quantity but also quality for different needs. Participants will further discuss institutional fabric required at various levels of government (community, county and state) and need for a regulatory function to avoid adverse effects of productive uses on water availability.
