| Tóm tắt: | There is broad consensus on the need to improve
water management and to invest in water for food
as these are critical to meeting the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs). The role of water in
food and livelihood security is a major issue of
concern in the context of persistent poverty and
continued environmental degradation. Although
there is considerable knowledge on the issue of
water management, an overarching picture on
the water–food–livelihoods–environment nexus is
missing, leaving uncertainties about management
and investment decisions that will meet both food
and environmental security objectives.
The Comprehensive Assessment of Water
Management in Agriculture (CA) is an innovative, multi-institute process aimed at identifying existing knowledge and stimulating
thought on ways to manage water resources to
continue meeting the needs of both humans
and ecosystems. The CA critically evaluates the
benefits, costs and impacts of the past 50 years
of water development and challenges to water
management currently facing communities. It
assesses innovative solutions and explores
consequences of potential investment and
management decisions. The CA is designed as
a learning process, engaging networks of
stakeholders to produce knowledge synthesis
and methodologies |
