Advancing Water-Smart and Climate-Resilient Agriculture in Europe.
Water is a fundamental resource for agriculture, ecosystems, and society at large. In Europe, the increasing frequency and intensity of droughts, combined with rising competition for water, represent a pressing challenge for the agri-food sector. Agriculture is responsible for approximately one quarter of total water use in the European Union, with significant regional variations and often limited availability during critical growing seasons. Climate change is expected to exacerbate these imbalances, putting further pressure on farmers and rural communities.
