Six critical solutions to water scarcity & food insecurity

Can we grow enough food to feed our growing human numbers in a world that is running short of water and waming up at the same time? How can agriculture become more efficient in its use of water to grow more food with less water?

Dr. Colin Chartres, Director General of the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), talks about six critical solutions to water scarcity and food insecurity. This is part of the web video series, Colin's STRAIGHTtalk, where Dr Chartres offers his expert commentary on topical, often controversial, global water issues. This video was produced by TVE Asia Pacific under commission from IWMI.
