A new report showcases partnerships for wastewater aquaculture that could generate benefits for farmers, water treatment plant operators and consumers worldwide
Although agriculture remains the biggest threat to biodiversity, experience suggests we can produce more food on less land without overexploiting natural resources and degrading wildlife habitats. We explore five critical factors to ensure agriculture becomes a force for biodiversity conservation.
In the lead-up to the UN Food Systems Summit, a new report from the International Food Policy Research Institute calls for investment in nature-based solutions to transform food systems, drawing on a fresh understanding of the relationship between biodiversity and agriculture.
The three-session event organised by SIWI's Scientific Programme Committee, UNECE, IWMI, and CIWA/the World Bank engaged participants from across the world, discussing inter-sectoral and transboundary cooperation.
Dams are central to Africa's climate adaptation plans, but the associated risk of malaria, particularly with small dams, requires careful planning to avert a public health crisis
New research argues that two critical shifts influenced how and why gender became more visible in natural resource management and governance: the evolution of community collectives and the concept of plurality of institutional arrangements.
Lessons learned from water productivity interventions worldwide have been distilled into a new White Paper which sets out six key principles to guide policy makers’ efforts to strengthen water and food security.
Across sub-Saharan Africa, companies are using an interactive mapping tool to expand the sales of solar irrigation pumps that could boost the livelihoods and climate resilience of millions of farmers
Across West African countries, breaches of free trade regulations are still being reported — an issue posed to drivers transporting food, who have little alternative than to buy their way out.
Eight WLE and IWMI researchers speak on experiences working in science and development. Hear more in this excerpt from an upcoming podcast exploring gender, inclusion, and representation.
What do we know about the role of women in agriculture, in different societies across the globe, that can help us design more effective programs for increasing gender equity?
How many of us want to address gender in our work, but when it comes down to the specifics, aren’t quite sure how? Join the discussion- help us develop a series of collaborative questions to investigate gender in agricultural water management projects.
The evidence base is growing: strengthening women’s land rights contributes to women’s empowerment and household welfare. But it isn’t that simple - there are always vested interests to protect the status quo along with the additional issues of navigating gender norms. How can we improve women's land tenure?

This week marks the launch of the new CGIAR research portfolio. Izabella Koziell, Program Director, lays out the ambitions of the CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems (WLE).
Using satellites to measure soil moisture isn't new, but a new mathematical algorithm is making this technology more accurate, and therefore better able to predict irregular conditions.
