| dc.description | Green water, soil moisture, evapotranspiration, and rainfall, underpins agricultural production but remains unaccounted for in traditional water and supply chain risk models. Yet, failure to integrate green water management threatens food security, market stability, and ecosystem resilience. This policy brief demonstrates that integrating green water into impact assessments and resilience strategies is essential for both policymakers and businesses. Advancing granular research, upgrading monitoring, and leveraging new digital tools are critical steps toward closing the green water data gap and making supply chain more adaptive to water and climate risks. By acting on green water intelligence and aligning procurement, reporting, and policy frameworks around these metrics, companies enhance supply chain resilience and redirect financing towards landscape resilient regenerative models. This brief calls for a paradigm shift in water-smart supply chain governance. | |
