Water Scarcity and Food Security in Tropical Rainfed Water Scarcity Systems: A Multi-Level Assessment of Existing Conditions, Response Options and Future Potentials (ICRISAT)

Placeholder for layout

The aim of this project is to improve management of water and land resources for increased food production and to better the livelihoods of the farming community in tropical rainfed agroecoregions.  This will be carried out by enhancing the understanding of the limiting constraints, available opportunities and future potentials for improving the productivity of agriculture in tropical rainfed systems.  This assessment will then identify key areas that need further investigation, and also provide insights into future potentials from rainfed agriculture.

Collaborators:  International Water Management Institute, The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (Austria), UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education, National Bureau of Soil Survey and Land Use Planning (India), Central Research Institute of Dryland Agriculture (India), National Center for Agricultural Economics Policy Research Institute (India), Vietnam Agricultural Science Institute (Vietnam), University of Free State (South Africa).
