Food security depends on water security, and water security depends on forests and trees. With approximately 75 percent of the world's accessible fresh water for domestic, agricultural, industrial and ecological needs sourced from forests, our global food-and-water secure future requires far greater understanding of forest-water-food dynamics and coherent sustainable action.
