No results found.In the ever-evolving landscape of agricultural water resources management, a pressing imperative exists to foster inclusivity and sustainability. This requires a paradigm shift in our approach centered around the principles of Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI). This policy brief delves into the intricate nexus of agriculture, water, and GEDSI, presenting a comprehensive overview of why and how these principles should be seamlessly integrated across all stages of the project cycle. By weaving together empirical case studies, best practices, and strategic insights, the brief aims to guide practitioners toward creating agricultural water resource initiatives that not only stand resilient in the face of challenges but also honor the rights and needs of every stakeholder. -

Book (stand-alone)The State of the World’s Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture 2021 – Systems at breaking point
Main Report
2022Also available in:
No results found.Satisfying the changing food habits and increased demand for food intensifies pressure on the world’s water, land and soil resources. However, agriculture bears great promise to alleviate these pressures and provide multiple opportunities to contribute to global goals. Sustainable agricultural practices lead to water saving, soil conservation, sustainable land management, conservation of natural resources, ecosystem and climate change benefits. Accomplishing this requires accurate information and a major change in how we manage these resources. It also requires complementing efforts from outside the natural resources management domain to maximize synergies and manage trade-offs. The objective of SOLAW 2021 is to build awareness of the status of land and water resources, highlighting the risks, and informing on related opportunities and challenges, also underlining the essential contribution of appropriate policies, institutions and investments. Recent assessments, projections and scenarios from the international community show the continued and increasing depletion of land and water resources, loss of biodiversity, associated degradation and pollution, and scarcity in the primary natural resources. SOLAW 2021 highlights the major risks and trends related to land and water and presents means of resolving competition among users and generating multiple benefits for people and the environment. The DPSIR framework was followed in order to identify the Drivers, Pressures, Status, Impact and Responses. SOLAW 2021 provides an update of the knowledge base and presents a suite of responses and actions to inform decision-makers in the public, private, and civil sectors for a transformation from degradation and vulnerability toward sustainability and resilience.
