Food Production in Water-scarce Regions:system-scale Relations, Practice and Policy
Lead Research Organisation:
CARDIFF UNIVERSITY
Department Name: Cardiff School of Planning and Geography
Abstract
This research examines the relations, practices and policies of agricultural water use in two water-scarce nations exporting to the UK. The UK imports approx. 48% of its food demands and around 80% of its fruit, resulting in significant impacts on water resources overseas. Environmental degradation and social conflicts between farmers, conservationists and policy makers have arisen in semi-arid exporting regions and greater understanding is needed of the crucial interactions at catchment, user and institutional scales. The research will target Spain and South Africa
