This chapter examines the extent to which global society can manage sustainably the water resources on which its food security depends. In addition to health concerns, contemporary food systems contribute significantly to climate change through greenhouse gas emissions, threaten biodiversity, and undermine natural processes upon which food security depends. 6,7 Conversely, climate change is already affecting crop yields, 8,9 while supplies of freshwater are reaching their limit in some areas due to overexploitation, mainly for.
Water and its role in food and health security – the importance of water to food production Åsa K Wahlquist BAgSc The Australian Newspaper, Sydney, Australia Water is vital to food production: every calorie of plant food requires at least one litre of water, while one calorie of meat or dairy product can require up to 10 litres of water. USAID is advancing global food security by helping families and individuals meet their need for a reliable source of quality food and sufficient resources to produce or purchase it. This, in turn, supports global stability and prosperity. By addressing the root causes of hunger, USAID is increasing economic opportunity and growth among vulnerable communities.
