Sustainable food production involves the sustained availability of resources, such as water and energy, to agriculture. The key challenges to sustainable food production are population increase, increasing demands for food, climate change, climate variability, and decreasing per capita land and water resources. To discuss more details on (a) the challenges for sustainable food production and (b) mitigation options available, a Special Issue on “Water Management for Sustainable Food Production” was assembled. This Special Issue focused on issues such as irrigation using brackish water, virtual water trade, allocation of water resources, consequences of excess precipitation on crop yields, strategies to increase water productivity, rainwater harvesting, irrigation water management, deficit irrigation, fertilization, environmental and socio-economic impacts, and irrigation water quality. The articles in the Special Issue cover several water-related issues across the U.S., Asia, Middle East, Africa, and Pakistan concerning sustainable food production. The articles in this Special Issue highlight the substantial impacts on agricultural production, water availability, and water quality in the face of increasing demands for food and energy.Research & information: generalbicsscBiology, life sciencesbicsscTechnology, engineering, agriculturebicsscAquaCrop modelcapillary riseclimate changerainfall variabilitysupplemental irrigationcrop growthlettuceAquaCropwater savingwater productivitydeficit irrigationnitrogen productivityfertigationdrip irrigationlow-dischargearid regionsAfricafood securitysystem of rice intensificationwater conservationclimate variabilitywater use efficiencymulti-crop productionpressure irrigation systemswater costscornsoybeansmaizecrop-water production functionWest Africaspatiotemporal rainfall variabilitytied ridgesscattered plotspearl milletyield losscrop uptakefood qualitygeogenicemerging contaminantsnanomaterialslysimetercanolawater tableroot distributionevapotranspirationsustainable irrigationbibliometric analysisinnovation and technologyunconventional water resourcesdelayed transplantingseedling ageseedling densitywet seasongrain sorghumprecipitationrainfedmultiple linear regressioncrop yieldprincipal component analysiswater allocationWEAP modelscenarioAwash River Basinsustainabilityagriculturevirtual water tradebluegreenarid regionbrackish watersub surface drip irrigation (SDI)salinitysodicityolives treesexcess precipitationirrigation water qualityvirtual waterbrackish groundwaterrainwater harvestingsocio-economic impactsResearch & information: generalBiology, life sciencesTechnology, engineering, agricultureKannan Narayananedt1296153Swamy Aavudai AnandhiedtKannan NarayananothSwamy Aavudai AnandhiothBOOK9910557299003321Water Management for Sustainable Food Production3023817UNINA
