Climate change, water and agriculture: towards resilient systems

Description

This OECD study examines the role of water and climate change on agriculture. It provides a knowledge base in the interlinkages between climate change, water and agriculture in order to stimulate decision making. The report identifies knowledge gaps to seasonal impacts, extremes and variability of water availability. Also the impact of climate change on water quality is complex and highly uncertain. The study describes a few strategies to deal with climate change for agricultural water management..
