A systemic approach to landscape management for productive rainfed systems in Latin America, East and South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa

Rainfed farming is the world’s most dominant food production system. While opportunities for expansion of irrigation infrastructure are limited, investment is needed to maintain and improve crop water availability in rainfed agricultural production. Investment in improving rainfed agriculture through green water management holds the most significant potential for increasing crop yields, with the outcome of increased food security, income generation and resilient livelihoods. We recommend increased investment in the development of water infrastructure and adoption and adaptation of water-optimizing technologies and strategies. This will support production in rainfed systems and optimize available water for use by crops and livestock.
