Abstract

The water-agro-food system: upscaling from the Seine river basin to the global scale Le système hydro-agro-alimentaire : du bassin de la Seine à l'échelle globale

A hydrogeological acrostic: in honour of Ghislain de Marsily

“…During the last decade, the issue of Water Security has been a topic of major interest for Ghislain de Marsily, and it is thus natural to see several related papers in this special issue: Billen and Garnier [2023] discuss the concept of water-agro-food system, first at the scale of the Seine basin, then enlarging it to the national, European and global scales. They couple it to the Riverstrahler model, in order to simultaneously address issues of food production, river water quality and nutrient delivery to the coastal zone.…”
