Water, Agriculture and Aquaculture

The Section “Water, Agriculture and Aquaculture” publishes papers that relate water to the production of food and fiber on land or in aquatic environments. The thematic areas covered include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Rain-fed and irrigated production of crops;
• Water and controlled environment agriculture;
• Fish and shrimp farming;
• Modeling studies of the environmental impact of agriculture and aquaculture;
• Water as a factor in land use/land cover change brought about by agriculture.

This Section contributes to the theoretical and practical framework that is required to meet increasing global demand for food and fiber under the conditions of increasing competition for scarce water resources and in the context of global changes.
