Key Insights
The report highlights the critical relationship between water scarcity and food security, emphasizing that over 2.4 billion people live in water-scarce regions. By 2050, this number could rise to over half the global population. The increasing demand for water, driven by population growth, urbanization, and climate change, poses significant risks to agricultural productivity and food security. Smallholder farmers, who rely heavily on rainfall, are particularly vulnerable. The report outlines strategies for enhancing water management, including improving governance, incentivizing efficient water use, investing in agricultural research, and diversifying crops. It calls for bold actions from stakeholders, including the U.S. government, to address these challenges and ensure a sustainable food system.
