Title (in English):
EIP-AGRI Focus Group on Nature-based solutions for water management: Final report
Publication abstract (in original language):
Water is increasingly a major challenge for the agricultural sector. Agriculture is the main user of fresh water both in Europe and around the world. The sector also contributes significantly to water pollution. At the same time, we are experiencing higher temperatures and rainfall variability. On top of that, a growing global population means a growing demand for food, therefore farmers are having to rethink how they produce their crops. The key question of this Focus Group was ‘How nature-based solutions could have an impact on water management and water availability at farm level and contribute to sustainable farming under climate change?’. This report presents the outcomes of the Focus Group discussions, along with suggestions for Operational Groups and areas for further research.
