This book is the first comprehensive effort to bring together
Water, Food Security and Nutrition (FSN) in a way that goes beyond
the traditional focus on irrigated agriculture. Apart from looking
at the role of water and sanitation for human well-being, it
proposes alternative and more locally appropriate ways to address
complex water management and governance challenges from the local
to global levels against a backdrop of growing uncertainties. The
authors challenge mainstream supply-oriented and neo-Malthusian
visions that argue for the need to increase the land area under
irrigation in order to feed the world's growing population.
Instead, they argue for a reframing of the debate concerning
production processes, waste, food consumption and dietary patterns
whilst proposing alternative strategies to improve water and land
productivity, putting the interests of marginalized and
disenfranchized groups upfront. The book highlights how accessing
water for FSN can be challenging for small-holders, vulnerable and
marginalized women and men, and how water allocation systems and
reform processes can negatively affect local people's informal
rights. The book argues for the need to improve policy coherence
across water, land and food and is original in making a case for
strengthening the relationship between the human rights to water
and food, especially for marginalized women and men. It will be of
great interest to practitioners, students and researchers working
on water and food issues.
One of the early set of reforms that South Africa embarked on after
emerging from apartheid was in the water sector, following a
remarkable, consultative process. The policy and legal reforms were
comprehensive and covered almost all aspects of water management
including revolutionary changes in defining and allocating rights
to water, radical reforms in water management and supply
institutions, the introduction of the protection of environmental
flows, and major shifts in charging for water use and in the
provision of free basic water. Over ten years of implementation of
these policy and legislative changes mean that valu-able lessons
have already been learned and useful experiences gained in the
challenge of effective water resources management and water
services provision in a middle income country.
