WANA Institute announces Water Decoupling Project

The West Asia - North Africa Institute is pleased to annouce the launch of its Water Decoupling Project, which will be carried out in association with the University of Oxford. 

In Jordan and Palestine, water scarcity and food insecurity are increasingly understood as existential threats to human security and the natural environment. Country contexts which share a similar geography have managed to increase agricultural production while reducing pressure on water resources through modifications to agricultural composition and practices. While appreciating the different political frameworks, access and availability of technology and resources and relationships between the countries, this research will analyse how Jordan and Palestine can adapt, build on, and use such methods for enhanced food and water security.
