全球粮食安全与营养论坛 (FSN论坛)

Dear FSN Forum Team

A very important point that has been neglected in sustainable agriculture, especially in countries with low and medium rainfall, is that the production of their agricultural products should not exceed the capacity of their rainfall and water resources.

For example, If a country has an average rainfall and water resources of 800 mm per year and in the same year, agricultural products are produced with a capacity of 1000 mm in that country. In this condition with about 200 mm of excess consumption from the underground water levels, damage is done to the environment nationally and internationally.

Therefore, the United Nations and FAO can manage this type of inconsistency in the agricultural productions and  excessive consumption of environmental water.

Yours ever
