Food and Water Security Tightly Linked

摘要

At World Water Week in Stockholm, The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) explored solutions to water scarcity. Water scarcity affects one in three people on every continent of the globe and the situation is getting worse as needs for water rise along with population growth, urbanisation and increases in household and industrial uses. IFAD joined experts from the scientific, business, policy and civic communities in Stockholm from 26-31 August to address how to reverse this impinging problem while ensuring the world's food security.
