Synopsis (short abstract) 本書は、灌漑農業における「水欠乏」と天水農業におけ る「水不足」の規模や、これらの影響下にある人口の最新の推定値を示しています。 明らかになったのは、国家間で水制約の状況に大きな隔たりがあるだけでなく、国内 地域間でも大幅な空間的ばらつきがみられるという事実です。こうしたエビデンス は、各国が水問題の性格や程度はもとより、農業生産システムのタイプや国の発展レベル、政治体制といったさまざまなファクターに応じて適切な政策や介入策をいかに 決定していくかといった論議に役立てることができます。こうした考察を踏まえ、本白書は、農業における水制約の打開と、効率的で持続可能かつ公平な水アクセスの確保 に向けて、各国が政策や介入策を適切に優先づけていくための手引きを提供しています。

    The State of Food and Agriculture 2020
    Overcoming water challenges in agriculture
    2020

    Intensifying water constraints threaten food security and nutrition. Thus, urgent action is needed to make water use in agriculture more sustainable and equitable. Irrigated agriculture remains by far the largest user of freshwater, but scarcity of freshwater is a growing problem owing to increasing demand and competition for freshwater resources. At the same time, rainfed agriculture is facing increasing precipitation variability driven by climate change. These trends will exacerbate disputes among water users and inequality in access to water, especially for small-scale farmers, the rural poor and other vulnerable populations. The State of Food and Agriculture 2020 presents new estimates on the pervasiveness of water scarcity in irrigated agriculture and of water shortages in rainfed agriculture, as well as on the number of people affected. It finds major differences across countries, and also substantial spatial variation within countries. This evidence informs a discussion of how countries may determine appropriate policies and interventions, depending on the nature and magnitude of the problem, but also on other factors such as the type of agricultural production system and countries’ level of development and their political structures. Based on this, the publication provides guidance on how countries can prioritize policies and interventions to overcome water constraints in agriculture, while ensuring efficient, sustainable and equitable access to water.
