dc.descriptionThe Commission on Water for Food Futures (CWFF) is a Cambridge Sustainability Commission addressing growing challenges at the intersection of water and food security. Formed through collaboration between the International Water Management Institute, the Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute, Collective Action for Water Security, and Cambridge University Press, its mission is to rethink and catalyze how water is managed in food systems. CWFF aims to translate the Global Commission on the Economics of Water’s call for a “new revolution in food systems” into practical, evidence-based action by 2040. This requires a fundamental shift not only in water management, but in how we produce food to feed a growing global population while preserving the planet’s resources. CWFF follows a demand-led approach, with global consultations informing four main themes: optimizing and diversifying water use; strengthening governance and institutions; improving market mechanisms for sustainable water use; and shaping diets to reflect water constraints. Drawing on wide-ranging expertise and research, CWFF will identify and highlight emerging innovations and actionable solutions, connecting scales from local farms and river basins to national and global policies, and providing essential guidance for practitioners, investors, and policymakers.
