Future collaboration IWMI-GWP
New CGIAR Research Program 5 (CRP5): Water, Land and Ecosystems
• Addressing interrelated global challenges– Water scarcity– Land degradation– Loss of ecosystem services
• Goal: sustainably improve livelihoods, reduce poverty, and ensure food security

Draft food security strategy
Collaboration with IWMI mainly at global levelWater for food securityImplementing recommendations from Comprehensive AssessmentRevitalizing irrigationIntegration with other sectors to increase productivityEnvironmental sustainability: trade-offs and ecosystem servicesResearch + networking = impact?Future collaboration, also with CPWF, in CRP5 Water, Land and Ecosystems

GWP in CRP5
IWRM in CRP5GWP network can enhance impact at various levelsUnder the 5 Strategic Research PortfoliosMainstreaming ecosystem servicesWater for food -> Water for agroecosystem servicesNot only provisioning services (food, water supply)But also other ecosystem services: regulating, cultural and supportingIncreased environmental sustainability and resilience

EquityResilience
Environmental sustainability
Provisioning services (separate or combined)• Food crops• Aquaculture• Fodder• Fiber• Fuel• Domestic uses (bathing
and drinking)• Agro-industry
Regulatory services• Water flow regulation • Erosion regulation• Greenhouse gasses
regulation• Pollination• Climate regulation
Cultural services• Heritage• Livestock assets• Tourism
Supporting services Nutrient cycling Soil formation Ecosystem resilience Mitigation of climate change
Water for agroecosystems
Agroecosystems for Water
Water for a food-secure worldWater for a food-secure world
• Irrigation and Groundwater– Ecosystem services in IWRM– Network partners
• Basins and Landscapes - CPWF• Resource Recovery
– Wastewater irrigation for food security and for downstream environment
– Reuse of nutrients• Rainfed and pastoral systems – all water sources• Information – exchange• Impact pathways
GWP in CRP5 - specific
