1 WATER FOR FOOD SECURITY AND NUTRITION (FSN): CHALLENGES FROM GLOBAL TO LOCAL
1. Water for Food Production and Nutrition: Individual and Collective Challenges
1.1 Water, key to Food Security and Nutrition (FSN)
Ø 1 1 1 Charting the multiple linkages
Ø Figure 1 The multiple interfaces between water and food security and nutrition (FSN)
Contribution : Inland coastal navigation
Interface relate to water use for Access to food, Access to market to sell food crops or food: use of rivers, lakes for transport householders and food products
2 IMPROVED WATER MANAGEMENT FOR IMPROVED FSN
2. Improved water management for increased food value and added food value
Contribution : List of technologies used to extract water
2.1 Water for agricultural systems
Contribution : Groundwater use for house agriculture and giant snails production (urban and rural house) – Promotion of “Maison Nourricière” (opposite of “Maison maçonnerie-désert”) by Convivium Nourriture Saine Benin / Network for ecofarming Benin (NECOFA Benin)
Innovations 1: Use of plastic can to produce high quality of leaf and fruit legumes for daily use at home; more other plants are also concerned not.
Imported plastic cans contained vegetable oil. After this first use the empty plastic cans are used at home for agriculture. Its life delay is very long (above 10 years) in contrary of “Kenyan sack gardening”. The quantity of water needed per day is between 1-2 litters depending the period of the year (wet or dry season).

Innovations 2: Use of closed plastic can and kitchen water re-use to produce liquid fertilizers recycling nutrients waste products, whether animal or crop waste back into the farming process.
Innovations 3: Use of groundwater to produce high quality of Giant West African Snails Achatina for daily consumption and market at home.

2.4 Improving water management and uses in agriculture and food systems
…… Irrigated agro-ecosystems will be affected by climate change in two ways (Wreford et al. 2010, IPCC 21 2014).
Contribution : Research is proving now that there are also Links between increased CO2 levels and decrease of nutrients in some food crops.
Contribution : Diversifying with fisheries and aquaculture, and also Giant West African Snails Achatina
