Agriculture accounts for around 70% of global human water withdrawals. Reducing, optimising and reducing the pollution of water resources from farming is essential for water and food security, as well as human and ecosystem health. Transforming agricultural systems to regenerate hydrological processes and retain soil and its nutrients are important opportunities in transitioning to nature-positive and climate-resilient freshwater management.

Food and water resilience are dependent upon one another, and farmers are among the world’s most important managers of water systems, the areas of land that collect and drain the rainwater that falls on it (e.g., area around a lake or river basin).
