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.Biology, life sciencesbicsscResearch & information: generalbicsscTechnology, engineering, agriculturebicsscAfricaagricultureAquaCropAquaCrop modelarid regionarid regionsAwash River Basinbibliometric analysisbluebrackish groundwaterbrackish watercanolacapillary riseclimate changeclimate variabilitycorncrop growthcrop uptakecrop yieldcrop-water production functiondeficit irrigationdelayed transplantingdrip irrigationemerging contaminantsevapotranspirationexcess precipitationfertigationfood qualityfood securitygeogenicgrain sorghumgreeninnovation and technologyirrigation water qualitylettucelow-dischargelysimetermaizemulti-crop productionmultiple linear regressionnanomaterialsnitrogen productivityolives treespearl milletprecipitationpressure irrigation systemsprincipal component analysisrainfall variabilityrainfedrainwater harvestingroot distributionsalinityscattered plotsscenarioseedling ageseedling densitysocio-economic impactssodicitysoybeansspatiotemporal rainfall variabilitysub surface drip irrigation (SDI)supplemental irrigationsustainabilitysustainable irrigationsystem of rice intensificationtied ridgesunconventional water resourcesvirtual watervirtual water tradewater allocationwater conservationwater costswater productivitywater savingwater tablewater use efficiencyWEAP modelWest Africawet seasonyield lossBiology, life sciencesResearch & information: generalTechnology, engineering, agricultureKannan Narayananedt1296153Swamy Aavudai AnandhiedtKannan NarayananothSwamy Aavudai AnandhiothBOOK9910557299003321Water Management for Sustainable Food Production3023817UNINA
