Transforming Agriculture in a Water-Scarce World [1]

[]

Date: 2022-12 

In the next decades, water scarcity is expected to increase in many parts of the world. With increasing variability and magnitude of rainfall patterns, 350 million people will experience water scarcity by 2030 and 10% of the currently suitable area for major crops and livestock production is expected to become climatically unsuitable. Tackling water scarcity, food and nutrition security simultaneously will require a systemic and transformational approach in the way water is used and supports agriculture across scales and landscapes.

PLOS Water invites submissions of original research articles that address how we ensure food security with limited water resources. This includes articles about social-technological innovations to enhance agricultural water management in rainfed and irrigated agriculture, integrated cropping systems and its effect on water quality and quantity, water resource management and governance, and broader environmental impacts. We especially welcome contributions employing participatory research practices, and those that use Open Data and Open Science approaches for analyzing or addressing water needs in the agricultural sector from field to global scale.
