Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Land and water resources play irreplaceable roles in food production and agricultural development. However, multiple urgent issues, such as water scarcity, shrinkage of cultivated land, soil degradation, and non-point source pollution, jointly hinder the sustainable development of agriculture and hamper food security worldwide. Against this backdrop, agricultural water and land resources require effective regulation and management. The utilization and management of land and water resources for food and agriculture involve multiple aspects including water cycle processes, irrigation and cropping pattern management, socioeconomic development, carbon emission, environmental protection, ecological restoration, regional policies, and climate change. To solve the relevant problems of land and water resources for food and agriculture, we need to consider the synergy of multiple elements using interdisciplinary methods, which will contribute to increasing awareness of new progress in the green and efficient management of land and water resources for food and agriculture.
