| Résumé : | In the context of increasing water scarcity in Spain due to high water demands and the reduction of water resources because of climate change, this work presents an operational proposal for a just water transition in agriculture by means of a water reallocation, based on social and environmental criteria. Within a co-production framework with participants from agricultural organizations, trade unions, civil society and the academy, a set of socio-economic and environmental indicators was developed and then tested in the irrigators' communities around the Donana National Park. Results show that the developed indicators successfully identify those farm units representing the type of agriculture to be prioritized according to the criteria defined by the participants in the co-production process, characterized as a family, social and professional agriculture safeguarding ecosystems and the rights of rural territories. Such indicators are therefore helpful to operationalize a social water reallocation in agriculture during droughts and other water scarcity contexts. Results also show the usefulness of knowledge co-production to develop indicators and criteria integrating academic and non-academic knowledge.HIGHLIGHTSThe need for a just water transition. Current water allocation in Spanish agriculture. Social and environmental implications of the present water allocation model. Proposals for a fairer distribution of water in agriculture, taking into account social and environmental criteria. |
