2022Also available in:
No results found.At the 2020 Regional Conference for Asia and the Pacific (APRC35), FAO presented a technical paper titled Setting regional priorities to manage water for agriculture under conditions of water scarcity. The technical paper, and the proposal for a new Water Scarcity Programme contained within it, were widely endorsed by the 35th Regional Conference. This information document serves to provide an update on the follow up actions taken in response to APRC35 recommendations. It provides an overview of the five-year Water Scarcity Programme (WSP) for Asia and the Pacific region and progress made in its development. The WSP has now been developed in detail and is designed to support FAO Members in taking practical steps to address and manage water scarcity in a changing climate. The WSP is based on extensive scoping activities that FAO carried out between 2019 and 2021. It is a consultative document designed to allow the Regional Conference to provide inputs and comments for improvement. -
Book (series)Coping with water scarcity
An action framework for agriculture and food security
2012This report aims to provide a conceptual framework to address food security under conditions of water scarcity in agriculture. It has been prepared by a team of FAO staff and consultants in the framework of the project `Coping with water scarcity: the role of agriculture?, and has been discussed at an Expert Consultation meeting organized in FAO, Rome in December 2009 on the same subject. It was subsequently edited and revised, taking account of discussions in the Expert Consultation and materia ls presented to the meeting. The document offers views on the conceptual framework on which FAO's water scarcity programme should be based, proposes a set of definitions associated with the concept of water scarcity, and indicates the main principles on which FAO should base its action in support to its member countries. -
Book (stand-alone)Assessment of Food Supply under Water Scarcity Conditions in the NENA Region

2018Also available in:
No results found.The publication underlines the considerable efforts and activities that FAO, through the Regional Initiative on Water Scarcity, is dedicating to support member countries in enhancing policies, governance and best practices related to sustainable allocation of scarce water resources, water productivity, water efficiency, water audit and providing optimal tools for strategic planning. It represents also a pillar for policy building and for policy making as it presents, through a technical approach, the case study of Jordan, a country increasingly affected by water scarcity. Doing so, the publication focuses on three major areas related to agriculture: Gap analysis, rapid water accounting and, food supply cost curve analyses and covers a main role in inspiring policy makers and giving them really specific and technic recoomandations. Doing so, the publication also applies the Food Supply Cost Curve(FSCC) for the Jordanian context through an adopted policy simulation which will end in suggesting to implement several scenarios.
