The UNCCD is unique as the only global policy body focused on combating desertification, land degradation and drought, which I will call “DLDD” from now on. The UNCCD recognizes the need to improve the scientific basis supporting its work. It has given us the responsibility of re-invigorating that scientific process.
A successful conference will go a long way towards the renewal of the UNCCD, as called for in the UNCCD’s

More than 2.5 billion people are globally involved as stewards of land and water ecosystems that constitute the natural resource base for feeding the current and future world population. Yet, conventional agronomic interventions based on ‘hard’ agricultural engineering compromise various eco-services that are required for sustainable agricultural development.

In order to meet future food demand while sustainably managing available land and water resources, irrigated agriculture in semi-arid regions needs to adapt as a response to climate and socio-economic change. In this study, we focus on the Mediterranean region, a dynamic region, which is highly dependent on irrigated agriculture. We provide insight on adaptation strategies implemented on farm level, by doing a systematic review of studies in the region. Our analysis reports 286 implemented adaptations, on 124 different locations throughout the Mediterranean.

Het in dit rapport besproken project `Multifunctioneel landgebruik en waterconservering' is onderdeel van DTO-project Duurzaam Landgebruik. Voor een studiegebied nabij Winterswijk is met een hydrologisch model middels een aantal scenario's andere inzicht verkregen in de sturings- en waterconserveringsmogelijkheden van het gebiedseigen water en is de `waterwinst' gekwantificeerd bij verschillende combinaties van landgebruik en waterbeheer. De aanleg van een reservoir stond steeds centraal. Tevens is aandacht besteed aan de gevolgen voor landbouw en natuur.
