Prospects for Irrigated Agriculture : Whether Irrigated Area and Irrigation Water Must Increase to Meet Food Needs in the Future

This report derives from the importance of water for irrigation to the question, how will additional food be produced as competition for scarce land and water resources increases? The International Water Management Institute (IWMI), Food and Agric...
