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. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 606 $aBiology, life sciences$2bicssc 606 $aTechnology, engineering, agriculture$2bicssc 610 $aAquaCrop model 610 $acapillary rise 610 $aclimate change 610 $arainfall variability 610 $asupplemental irrigation 610 $acrop growth 610 $alettuce 610 $aAquaCrop 610 $awater saving 610 $awater productivity 610 $adeficit irrigation 610 $anitrogen productivity 610 $afertigation 610 $adrip irrigation 610 $alow-discharge 610 $aarid regions 610 $aAfrica 610 $afood security 610 $asystem of rice intensification 610 $awater conservation 610 $aclimate variability 610 $awater use efficiency 610 $amulti-crop production 610 $apressure irrigation systems 610 $awater costs 610 $acorn 610 $asoybeans 610 $amaize 610 $acrop-water production function 610 $aWest Africa 610 $aspatiotemporal rainfall variability 610 $atied ridges 610 $ascattered plots 610 $apearl millet 610 $ayield loss 610 $acrop uptake 610 $afood quality 610 $ageogenic 610 $aemerging contaminants 610 $ananomaterials 610 $alysimeter 610 $acanola 610 $awater table 610 $aroot distribution 610 $aevapotranspiration 610 $asustainable irrigation 610 $abibliometric analysis 610 $ainnovation and technology 610 $aunconventional water resources 610 $adelayed transplanting 610 $aseedling age 610 $aseedling density 610 $awet season 610 $agrain sorghum 610 $aprecipitation 610 $arainfed 610 $amultiple linear regression 610 $acrop yield 610 $aprincipal component analysis 610 $awater allocation 610 $aWEAP model 610 $ascenario 610 $aAwash River Basin 610 $asustainability 610 $aagriculture 610 $avirtual water trade 610 $ablue 610 $agreen 610 $aarid region 610 $abrackish water 610 $asub surface drip irrigation (SDI) 610 $asalinity 610 $asodicity 610 $aolives trees 610 $aexcess precipitation 610 $airrigation water quality 610 $avirtual water 610 $abrackish groundwater 610 $arainwater harvesting 610 $asocio-economic impacts 615 7$aResearch & information: general 615 7$aBiology, life sciences 615 7$aTechnology, engineering, agriculture 700 $aKannan$b Narayanan$4edt$01296153 702 $aSwamy$b Aavudai Anandhi$4edt 702 $aKannan$b Narayanan$4oth 702 $aSwamy$b Aavudai Anandhi$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557299003321 996 $aWater Management for Sustainable Food Production$93023817 997 $aUNINA
