World Water and Food to 2025: Dealing with Scarcity

Will there be enough water to grow food for the eight billion people expected to populate the earth by 2025? This recent International Food Policy Research Institute publication draws attention to the neglect of water issues that could lead to a genuine water crisis, consequently triggering a food crisis. The authors argue that if current water policies continue, so will high levels of food insecurity, environmental degradation and water-related ill health. The book examines policies and actions that could help avoid these outcomes with a view to achieving sustainable and efficient water use, enough food for the world’s people and adequate drinking water for all.
