Water and Food Security Country Profiles

The Water and Food Security Country Profiles provide focalized information on the state of water resources and food security globally in a country-specific format. The site harvests valuable information from FAO databases and information systems as well as those of its partners, to give users enriched results to enhance decision-making and promote advocacy in these areas.

FAO and its partners are concerned with the sustainable use and conservation of water in agriculture with a particular focus on water policy formulation and the promotion of irrigated agriculture and efficient water use. In addition, food security is a central FAO mandate aimed at helping those living in developing countries to improve their food security through rapid increases in food production and productivity, reducing year-to-year variability in food production on an economically and environmentally sustainable basis and improving people's access to food.

The interdependency of these two areas is evident. By combining them in this multi-stakeholder platform, the Water and Food Security Country Profiles strive to facilitate and catalyze innovative and effective use of the wealth of information currently available.
