Agriculture is the major user of water in most countries. It also faces the
enormous challenge of producing almost 50% more food by 2030 and doubling
production by 2050. This will likely need to be achieved with less water,
mainly because of growing pressures from urbanisation, industrialisation and
climate change. In this context, it will be important in future for farmers to
receive the right signals to increase water use efficiency and improve
agricultural water management, while preserving aquatic ecosystems.
This report calls on policy makers to recognise the complexity and diversity
of water resource management in agriculture and the wide range of issues at
stake. And it gives them the tools to do so, offering a wealth of information
on recent trends and the outlook for water resource use in agriculture,
including the impacts of climate change. It examines the policy experiences of
OECD countries in managing their water resources for agriculture, with focus
on: the extent to which countries subsidise the supply of water to farmers;
flood and drought risk policies; and institutional organisation and governance
as it relates to water and the agricultural sector. The report offers concrete
recommendations on what countries should be doing and why.
