The effects of climate change are exacerbating the situation. The agricultural sec[...]
Article
Currently, agriculture uses about 70?80% of global water resources and, in the Mediterranean area, it accounts for the high pressure of freshwater demand. This study provides a useful framework for the meso-level assessment of the Water Footprin[...]
Article
A. Coudard ; E. Corbin ; J. de Koning ; A. Tukker ; J.M. Mogollón |Food products require significant amounts of energy and water throughout their lifecycle, yet humanity wastes 1.3e9 tons of food on a yearly basis. A large part of this waste occurs during the consumption (post-retail) phase of the food system a[...]
Article
The Water Footprint (WFP) is an estimate of freshwater utilization in food production and its impacts on water resources by individuals, communities and industries. It is partitioned into green component that denotes rain water use, blue, ground[...]
Article
Food system analysis in arid and semi-arid countries inevitably meets water availability as a major constraining food system driver. Many such countries are net food importers using food subsidy systems, as water resources do not allow national [...]
Article
D. Vanham ; S. Guenther ; M. Ros-Baró ; A. Bach-Faig |The Mediterranean region is increasingly water scarce, with the food system being the largest driver of water use. We calculate the water resources related to food consumption in nine major Mediterranean countries, by means of the water footprin[...]

Article
To describe and measure the apparent pressures humanity poses to functioning of the crucial Earth systems, scientists have long strived to develop comprehensive indicators, of which environmental footprints are probably the most popularly recogn[...]
Article
T. Pacetti ; G. Castelli ; B. Schröder ; E. Bresci ; E. Caporali |The appropriate implementation of the concept of Water-related Ecosystem Services (WES) in water resources planning can support the development of productive activities and, at the same time, sustain local ecosystems. However, such implementatio[...]
Article
High water availability enhances agricultural performance and food security. However, many countries where water is abundant according to hydrological indicators face difficulties in the utilization of water in agriculture, being in a situation [...]
