The Global Framework on Water Scarcity in Agriculture #WASAG , hosted by Food and Agriculture Organization with over 75 partners, aims to address water scarcity through concrete actions in areas such as SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURAL WATER USE to increase agricultural production and water use efficiency.
The use of multiple water sources for irrigation, including desalinated water, & the adoption of salt-tolerant crops are emerging practices to increase the resilience of rural communities to the impacts soil and water salinization.

Take a look at the exhibition on #WASAG under the theme “Making More with Less”, on display Food and Agriculture Organization headquarters throughout the week.
Featuring sculptures of artist Reinhard Pfingst, this exhibition offers a unique perspective on the topic of water scarcity in agriculture.
Happy to be at the #WASAG meeting at Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome, showcasing eHALOPH - a database of salt tolerant plants, hosted at Departamento de Ciências da Vida - UC Universidade de Coimbra Centre for Functional Ecology, which technical (IT) development I have coordinated.

'We believe that the actions of one country alone are not enough to solve the issue of water scarcity in agriculture. We must work together. For this reason above all others, we pledge our support to support #WASAG ' Speaker from the #RussianFederation Food and Agriculture Organization WASAG Meeting
