Water Governance for Resilient Food Systems for Future Climates

To mark the 2021 United Nations Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) a group of 31 globally diverse practitioners and researchers sound a clarion call for water resilience to be brought to the forefront of building resilient and sustainable food systems that can provision communities, economies and ecosystems into a rapidly changing world.

Transforming to a water resilient food system is a challenge we must meet. It requires significant investments across the food systems, applying existing research, and surfacing new knowledge. Governments, communities, and the private sector need to work together with women, youth, and communities, including smallholder farmers.
