Descripción
Agriculture accounts for about 70 percent of the freshwater withdrawals in the world and is usually seen as the main factor behind the increasing global scarcity of freshwater. In the framework of “World Agriculture: Towards 2015/2030”, FAO reviewed the current status and role of irrigation in 93 developing countries, and assessed the likely situation of irrigation in 2015 and 2030. The method used in this assessment and the main results of the study, in terms of agricultural production, land under irrigation and agricultural water use are presented in this paper.
