Identifying future Food and Water Research Themes

The German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) has funded several major research programs on Integrated Water Resources Management and Global Change. Currently, BMBF is in the process to identify promising future research themes by analyzing the international water research and policy landscape and by taking stock of recent achievements.

FutureWater was asked to provide support for the theme "Food and Water" based on their extensive experiences on this topic. The project will be completed at the beginning of 2010 and will be used to set the German research agenda.
