Research and development needs in agricultural water management to achieve sustainable development goals*1

Abstract: The United Nations calls for action to achieve 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs). We argue that the current development paradigm is an impediment to achieving several of these goals. We identify 14 agricultural research and development (R&D) needs, which ought to be addressed to achieve critical SDGs. We also identify the paradigm shifts required, particularly from global and international organizations, to facilitate this R&D and implement its outcomes. Importantly, the Global North2 would have … Show more

“…Thus in such cases, AWM innovations need to be contextualized so that reallocation for equity has to be pursued in parallel with strategies for improving efficiency and productivity (DWS, 2018b). Failing to address these underlying factors perpetuates inequality and inequity in water access and management at different scales (Bjornlund et al, 2023; Ovink et al, 2023; Rockström et al, 2023; Smith et al, 2023).…”

“…Nexus planning in AWM could be a starting point because it strives to bring everyone to the table and co‐plan for balancing conflicting interests among different actors. All AWM solutions must account for local access to developmental agents, including capacity, infrastructure, engineering and technology (Bjornlund et al, 2023; Rockström et al, 2023; Smith et al, 2023). Applications of single‐factor innovation, particularly technological innovations that are not locally feasible, will continue to undermine sustainable water management efforts in agriculture (Bjornlund et al, 2023).…”
