Water is a fundamental resource enabling the production of over 95% of food on land as well the progress of all sustainable development goals (SDGs). However, the central role of water in achieving global food security and nutrition for all has not yet widely recognized by the agrifood sector.  

The aim of this technical briefing, through technical discussions with the participation of the world’s leading water experts, is to inform FAO Members about the overall role of water for sustainable development, the overlapping crises on water, food, energy, biodiversity, climate, and health, and the need for integrated management of the precious water resources.  

The event will take place in hybrid modality, with the physical meeting in the Green Room at the FAO Headquarters, and concomitant virtual participation by the Zoom platform. Members wishing to attend in person are invited to express their interest for physical participation by email to [email protected] no later than 18 October 2022.  Confirmation of in-person participation will be then sent by email no later than 21 October.   

For all Members who are unable to participate in person, please register here to join the event virtually.
