Global Pathways to Water Sustainability

Abstract

This chapter examines water’s role in sustainable agriculture and the approaches taken to achieve sustainability, including transformational changes in the way agriculture is managed, and how farm-specific technologies are implemented. Two broad management pathways that are reshaping the way agriculture is practiced are helping farmers around the world prepare for supplying the 60% increase in foodstuffs that will be needed by 2050 by the growing world population. The first is Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA); the second is Conservation Agriculture (CA).
