Land and Water scarcity - Agricultural systems at risk
Monday 28 November FAO - The State of the World's Land and Water Resources (SOLAW) report highlights that the collective impact of these pressures and resulting agricultural transformations have put some production systems at risk of breakdown of their environmental integrity and productive capacity. ?Worldwide, the poorest have the least access to land and water and are locked in a poverty trap of small farms with poor quality soils and high vulnerability to land degradation and climatic uncertainty,? the report notes.
