Virtual Water explores the role of "virtual water" - the water
embedded in a product - in ongoing conversations of agriculture,
trade and sustainability in an increasingly inter-connected world.
A pervasive theme throughout the book is the general lack of
knowledge of the use of water in producing and consuming food. The
chapters, arising from a workshop supported by the OECD
Co-operative Research Programme: Biological Resources Management
for Sustainable Agricultural Systems, on virtual water, agriculture
and trade at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, consider questions
of gaps in knowledge, why sustainability matters and the policy
implications of virtual water trade. Contributors show how water is
a lens through which to examine an array of vital issues facing
humanity and the planet: human and animal health; food production;
environmental management; resource consumption; climate change
adaptation and mitigation; economic development, trade and
competitiveness; and ethics and consumer trust. Virtual Water will
be of great interest to scholars of water, resource management and
consumption, the environmental aspects of development, agriculture
and food production. It originally published as a special issue of
Water International.
