Executive Summary
Water scarcity poses a significant challenge to agriculture, threatening food security and livelihoods globally. Policy interventions are crucial to promote sustainable water management practices in agriculture, ensuring efficient water use while maintaining productivity.
The “Policy Interventions for Water Conservation in Agriculture” initiative aims to evaluate and propose policy measures that incentivize farmers to adopt water-saving technologies and practices. This proposal outlines the rationale, objectives, strategies, and expected outcomes of the program.
Background and Need
Agriculture is one of the largest consumers of freshwater, accounting for a substantial portion of global water withdrawals. Inefficient irrigation practices, climate variability, and competing water demands exacerbate water scarcity in agricultural regions.
Sustainable water management in agriculture requires coordinated efforts among policymakers, farmers, and stakeholders to implement effective policies that promote water conservation without compromising food production.
