Resumen
Descripción
The publication underlines the considerable efforts and activities that FAO, through the Regional Initiative on Water Scarcity, is dedicating to support member countries in enhancing policies, governance and best practices related to sustainable allocation of scarce water resources, water productivity, water efficiency, water audit and providing optimal tools for strategic planning.
It represents also a pillar for policy building and for policy making as it presents, through a technical approach, the case study of Jordan, a country increasingly affected by water scarcity. Doing so, the publication focuses on three major areas related to agriculture: Gap analysis, rapid water accounting and, food supply cost curve analyses and covers a main role in inspiring policy makers and giving them really specific and technic recoomandations.
Doing so, the publication also applies the Food Supply Cost Curve(FSCC) for the Jordanian context through an adopted policy simulation which will end in suggesting to implement several scenarios.
