Three independent studies reveal the precarious intersection of high food prices and global water shortages, emphasizing urgent actions needed to stabilize both food supply and water availability.
According to the World Resources Institute, approximately one quarter of the world’s crops are cultivated in areas where water supply is stressed or unreliable.
The Global Commission on the Economics of Water suggested that around half of global food production occurs in regions where water availability is predicted to diminish.
The European Union’s environmental agency acknowledged that even traditionally wet regions are experiencing disturbing drying trends, necessitating immediate action to combat potential food crises.
