Water connects food production, healthy landscapes, thriving communities and resilient economies. But demands on water are growing, and decisions about how land and water are used can create benefits in one place while increasing pressures elsewhere.
Drawing on experiences from South Africa’s Letaba region and global food value chains, Water for tomorrow explores these interconnected challenges and the trade-offs they create. With insights from SIWI’s work on water and landscape governance, it looks at how better understanding of water across landscapes can support more informed decisions – and why cooperation between governments, businesses, farmers and communities matters.
