Water scarcity is a harsh reality that affects billions of people in many parts of the world. Therefore, water development and management must be addressed and changed if we are to reduce the number of undernourished people.

This Policy Brief highlight key facts, conditions and trends regarding water aspects of food production and consumption, and illustrates important policy directions for discussion in the near future.

This report is the outcome of the 1999 SIWI/IWRA Seminar focused on this subject.
