Embracing sustainable energy and water use in agriculture

“The energy, water, agriculture nexus and the link to climate change are critical for sustainable food production and food and water security, particularly in regions experiencing natural water resource scarcity and a rapidly growing human population. The vulnerabilities of communities living in Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) are high and ever-rising, putting their day-to-day lives and opportunities for development and livelihoods at risk. Therefore, promoting and enabling the adoption and upscaling of climate-resilient practices and innovations among smallholder farmers and pastoralists living in ASAL areas is crucial in strengthening their resilience to climate risks.”
