Raising the citizens up the "citizen participation ladder" would be a better approach in managing water and providing safe sanitation services in developing countries.
A global study of farming systems highlights four key learnings in harnessing large-scale irrigation for sustainable economic growth and enhanced food security
Op-Ed in Thomson-Reuters: Groundwater is vital for food, drinking water and climate adaptation. But it's under threat. 700+ groundwater experts from more than 75 countries call for three urgent global actions.
Irrigation infrastructure is fast expanding Myanmar in order to boost the production of rice. But this is harming river health and inland fisheries due to lack of proper planning, according to new research, which is calling for a more integrated approach to support both fisheries and rice farming.
Identifying the right mix of strategies for scaling solar irrigation could help support livelihoods of millions of smallholders, whilst protecting the environment.
Statistics are worrying, but recognizing interlinkages between water and nutrition security, and their link to climate change, water pollution, and watershed degradation, could help accomplish both SDG 2 and 6.
Climate change, increasing demand and over usage is taxing our water resources more than ever. Smallholder farmers will be the worst affected and the most vulnerable. A new report from the Global Commission on Adaptation (GCA) shows us how to rethink about our water usage, our food systems, and our diets.
