Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The world population is projected to reach 9.5 billion by 2050. This increase in population will put more stress on finite resources like water. We will also need to produce more food to feed addional 2 billion people by 2050. Currently, agriculture is the largest user of fresh water resources around the world.
The global mean temperature has been steadily increasing for the last few decades, and this trend will likely continue for years to come. The increase in temperature coupled with population growth will significantly impact both the water and the food sector in the future, particularly in areas that show no change or a slight increase in precipitation.
The scope of this Special Issue includes analytical, experimental, and modeling studies that describe the interaction of climate, water, and food. We invite you to submit original or review papers on the issue of climate–water–food nexus, concerning both theoretical and experimental aspects: climate change impact on water, drought, food production, modeling the climate–water–food nexus, experimental studies, as well reviews on climate variables that impact water, carbon, and nutrient cycles.
