🌊 Reframing Water Management for Rainfed Regions 🌾 At the Food Systems Summit 2024, organised by Food and Land Use Coalition - FOLU India and Bharat Krishak Samaj, Ravindra A, Executive Director of WASSANIndia, delivered a powerful address on the need to rethink water resource management in climate-vulnerable rainfed regions. He emphasis is on: 💧 The disparity in public water investments—90% (₹90,000 Cr) directed towards irrigated areas, marginalizing rainfed farmers. 🌱 A paradigm shift is needed: from "water as irrigation" to inclusive, micro-local solutions for sustainable governance. Over 50% of India’s agricultural population operates outside current water policies. It’s time to champion water security for rainfed areas! 📺 Watch his insights here: https://lnkd.in/gJcJvvS5 #RainfedAgriculture #WaterSecurity #ClimateAction #FSSIndia2024 #WaterPolicy TERI - The Energy and Resources Institute Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) WRI India Food and Land Use Coalition (FOLU)
