Latin America and the Caribbean is a region with great food production potential. It contributes with 21% of the world’s fruit production, 7.7% of cereal and root production, and 12% of grain legumes1. The region’s cattle herd has reached the 500 million mark, about one per inhabitant. These figures show that the sector, in and of itself, is strategic for regional development.

However, the primary products derived from water resources go well beyond a narrow sectoral consideration, largely contributing to other productive areas, such as textiles, transportation, and trade. In the region up to six dollars are added to a country’s economy from each dollar generated by agricultural and livestock production2. This means that the use of water in agriculture is also a motor for progress in Latin American and Caribbean countries.

The link between water and food production is inevitable. Ever since the introduction of the water footprint concept in 20023, the world has become more aware of how water crosses all levels of manufacturing. Dealing with and solving water problems such as ineffective use, climate change adaptation, and ecosystem service appraisal are also ways to help achieve agricultural sustainability. Hence, an adequate use and management of water translates into a more productive, healthier food sector.

This year, the Latin American and Caribbean Focus Day will concentrate on opening a space to every stakeholder: from small farmers to transnational companies; from universities to large scale NGOs; from ministries to intergovernmental organizations, everyone gets a say on this year’s debate. Join our search for solutions and leave with new ideas that could make a difference at home. Be a part of the Latin American and Caribbean focus on water and food security.

In recent years more and more business organizations have focused on issues and activities along their supply chains – recognizing that many impacts are beyond their direct control. Regarding water, this understanding is relatively new, with many companies just beginning to examine the degree to which their suppliers use water in their operations. The role of agriculture is particularly important as it accounts for 70% of all freshwater withdrawn, and must therefore play a primary role in helping to achieve improved water management.

Companies operating in areas of water stress increasingly see that, as local stakeholders, they too have an interest and can play a role in helping to protect and manage water. As the main impacts

of its use can occur beyond a company’s own operations, all food manufacturing businesses share a responsibility to work up and down the supply chain to deliver continuous improvement in their use of water.

The private sector has many ways of contributing to this goal in the Latin American region: From encouraging suppliers to better their water conservation and recycling practices to considering the impact of water when creating new products. In this Seminar, transnational companies share some of their best practices from the region in addressing water and food security concerns by managing availability, access, use, and local water issues at all stages of the supply chain.

A healthy ecosystem can provide a variety of crucial services for public goods, such as clean water, nutrient cycling, climate regulation and food security services that contribute directly or indirectly to human well-being. Yet today, many ecosystems are in decline due to dwindling or polluted water resources. Losing them would seriously affect the production of food, both today and increasingly so in the future.

There are enormous opportunities to increase food production while using water, and other resources, in an optimal and sustainable way. This means that ensuring food security, managing water resources

and protecting ecosystems must be considered as a single sustainable policy rather than as separate, and sometimes competing, options. An approach like this requires multi-sector collaboration, because only then can policies and practices be integrated in a coherent manner.

The overarching recommendation is that future sustainability requires an integrated approach to managing multipurpose ecosystems in a landscape or river basin setting. These ecosystems—whether they be wetlands or forests, arid pastoral lands or rice fields— represent the future of food security and resilience against shocks.

Approximately 60% of global food production is derived from rainfed farming systems. The remainder is derived from irrigated agriculture practiced on only 20% of the world’s arable land. This split between rainfed and irrigated production sets the scene for a deeper consideration of the possible impacts of future climates on global food production and possible adaptation strategies.

However, farming systems are inherently adaptive. Traditionally, they have not been technically or socially rigid and fixed. Rather, they have been opportunistic, using available natural resources, technologies, institutions, and market mechanisms to respond

to changing human demands and environmental conditions. A consideration of the implications of food production in relation to agricultural water management requires a systemic appreciation of precisely where water is instrumental in maintaining agricultural productivity.

From the islands of the Caribbean to highly urban areas such as Mexico City, Ministers and Commissioners share water administration approaches that can help adapt to climate change and its effects in vital aspects of their economies such as tourism, agricultural, and industrial sectors.

In 2011, the Latin American and Caribbean Water Centres Network (LatinAqua) was created to encourage the creation, integration and synergy of its members’ capacities. LatinAqua works in promoting basic and applied research as well as building capacity for human resources. It is through these actions that the Network contributes to the solution of water issues in the region.

LatinAqua’s main objectives are to integrate water projects and leaders, monitor and communicate research, gather and share regional water

information, and encourage the integration of science and public policy.

Today, LatinAqua brings together 15 Centres in 12 different countries of the region. The Network invites organizations in Latin America and the Caribbean dedicated to research, development, capacity building, and knowledge transfer, to search for high-level solutions to water-related problems in the region.
