**3. Conclusions**

This special issue was organized to initiate an interdisciplinary dialogue with stakeholder groups about mitigation and adaptation strategies for sustainable agricultural production in the face of increasing demands due to population growth, urbanization, industrialization and agricultural intensification, and inadequate water resources management. Given the scope and extent of the impacts from these increasing demands, variety in crop production systems, water sources, climate variability, as well as changes in crop production systems, differences in water resources, and ecosystem health, there is a need to form global partnerships for developing sustainable agricultural production strategies. For example, developing holistic strategies for adaptation and mitigation (e.g., improving irrigation efficiency, virtual water assessment) for sustaining crop production during resource-scarce conditions. This Special Collection highlights the fact that agricultural production, water availability, and water quality are going to be substantially impacted by increasing demands in food, energy, and water sectors. There are technological options available to mitigate the adverse impacts of climate change, but adaptation strategies will require rethinking agricultural management practices to maintain crop and livestock production while protecting environmental quality.
