全球粮食安全与营养论坛 (FSN论坛)

The International Dairy Federation (IDF) appreciates the opportunity to comment on the HLPE Water and Food Security Draft V0.

 

GENERAL COMMENTS

 

1) This is a comprehensive and thorough report which covers all major issues.

2) More emphasis could be put on recycling of water and sourcing from other sources such as desalination of sea water.

 

SPECIFIC COMMENTS

 

1) Page 16: Comments on the poor predictive ability of current rainfall prediction models within the climate change realm (see e.g. the Berg River Catchment area in South Africa which is cited) could be elaborated on and studies accordingly encouraged. This is crucial for expectation scenarios and to manage them on a national, regional and local level.
