Description

Water needs for agriculture can conflict with domestic needs and those of the environment. The problem is global in nature and exists in the developed world and in the developing work, and in water-constrained and water-plentiful environments. The panel will discuss challenges associated with providing enough water for the production of food, while preserving sufficient supplies for the environment and a thirsty populace.
