Summary

Looks at how water availability and demand will evolve over the next three decades. Examines how water- and food-related policies will affect global, regional, and local water scarcity, food production, food security, the environment, and livelihoods in the long term. Collaborative work of the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the International Water Management Institute (IWMI). Presents and applies the IMPACT-WATER model (developed by IFPRI) which examines water and food policy and investment issues. Explores critical planning questions in water and food using PODIUM, the Policy Dialogue model (developed by IWMI).
