Global Forum for Food and Agriculture / High-level panel

Hybrid Event, 20/01/2017

FAO's high-level session will focus on the issue of agricultural leadership in a water scarce world.

In 2016, the World Economic Forum ranked water crises as the risk of highest concern for the next ten years – with significant implications for people and the global economy. Representatives of governments (Rwanda, China) and international organizations (World Meteorological Organisation, Water Resources Group) will share their experience and view how to deal with water scarcity for sustainable food and agriculture systems.  

The event, starting at 2 pm, will be opened by FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva.
