Eline Anvik

This AGRO session marks an important point in the (private, public and research) of the water and food sectors to give form to the NL international ambition to increase water security and water safety in the world for people, plants and animals. The worlds food and agri systems, post covid, are working hard to deliver outcomes that are more sustainable, healthier and more inclusive than they are now.

This transition needs bold actions in the face of climate change, biodiversity loss and inequality. Rethinking our (re)use of water including our water system concepts is necessary in order to develop, situation unique, resilient and sustainable food system where tradeoffs, of water allocation, become visible. This session will firstly address a water system conceptually, then showcase a concrete case. Lastly three top AGRI companies will be asked to reflect on how the presented concepts as well as the implementation in a delta can be applied at company level with the aim in mind of produce food with more water security for people, nature and biodiversity.
