  • Ending groundwater overdraft without affecting food security

    Open AccessNicostrato D Pérez, Vartika Singh et al.ARTICLENature Sustainability2024References: 6

    Groundwater development is key to accelerating agricultural growth and to achieving food security in a climate crisis. However, the rapid increase in groundwater exploitation over the past four decades has resulted in depletion and degradation, particularly in regions already facing acute water scarcity, with potential irreversible impacts for food security and economic prosperity. Using a climate–water–food systems modelling framework, we develo…

  • Agricultural investments and hunger in Africa modeling potential contributions to SDG2 – Zero Hunger

    Open AccessDaniel Mason-D’croz, Timothy B Sulser et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2018Cited by: 9References: 7

    We use IFPRI's IMPACT framework of linked biophysical and structural economic models to examine developments in global agricultural production systems, climate change, and food security. Building on related work on how increased investment in agricultural research, resource management, and infrastructure can address the challenges of meeting future food demand, we explore the costs and implications of these investments for reducing hunger in Afri…

  • Hydropower versus irrigation—an analysis of global patterns

    Open AccessRuijie Zeng, Ximing Cai et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    Numerous reservoirs around the world provide multiple flow regulation functions; key among these are hydroelectricity production and water releases for irrigation. These functions contribute to energy and food security at national, regional and global levels. While reservoir operations for hydroelectricity production might support irrigation, there are also well-known cases where hydroelectricity production reduces water availability for irrigate…

  • Global linkages among energy, food and water

    Open AccessClaudia Ringler, Dirk Willenbockel et al.ARTICLEJournal of Environmental Studies…2016Cited by: 1References: 2

    The resolution adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on 25 September 2015 is symptomatic of the water-energy-food (WEF) nexus. It postulates goals and related targets for 2030 that include (1) End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture (SDG2); (2) Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all (SDG6); and (3) Ensure access to affordable, reliable, s…

  • International trade buffers the impact of future irrigation shortfalls

    Open AccessJing Liu, Thomas W Hertel et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2014Cited by: 7References: 3

    There is increasing interest in the water–food nexus, especially the restrictive effect of water on food production in hot spots where irrigation stress is growing. However, little is known about the larger-scale implications of future irrigation shortfalls for global trade and economic welfare, as well as of the potential buffering impacts of international trade on the local impacts of irrigation shortage. In this paper, we utilize a recently de…
