One of the three pillars of sustainability is environmental sustainability. We argue that, when defining related policies, such as policies under the European Green Deal, both environmental pressures and impacts carry important and complementary information and should be used in combination. Although the environmental focus of a sustainable food system is to have a positive or neutral impact on the natural environment, addressing pressures is necessary to achieve this goal. We show this by means of the pressure water use (or water footprint) and its related impact water stress, by means of different arguments: 1) Water use and water stress are only weakly correlated; 2) water use can be evaluated towards a benchmark, addressing resource efficiency; 3) water use is used for resource allocation assessments within or between economic sectors; 4) water amounts are needed to set fair share amounts for citizens, regions, countries or on a global level 5) the pressure water use requires less data, whereas water stress assessments have more uncertainty and 6) both provide strong communication tools to citizens, including for food packaging labelling. As a result, we present a water quantity sustainability scheme, that addresses both water use and water stress, and can be used in support of food system policies, including food package labelling.

Agricultural trade has been shown to drive environmental threats pertaining to biodiversity loss and depletion and pollution of freshwater resources. Meanwhile, trade can also encourage production where it is most efficient, hence minimizing the use of natural resources required by agriculture. In this study, we provide a country-level assessment of the future international trade for 6 primary crops and 3 animal products composing 70% of the human diet caloric content. We set up four variegate socio-economic scenarios with different level of economic developments, diets habits, population growth dynamics, and levels of market liberalization. Results show that the demand of agricultural goods and the correspondent trade flow will increase with respect to current levels by 10–50% and 74–178% by 2050, respectively. The largest increase in the amount of traded goods is expected under the Economic Optimism scenario that will see an average trade flow of 2830 kcal/cap/day (i.e., nearly doubling the current per-capita flow). Most of the increase will be driven by the trade of crops for animal feeding, particularly maize will be the most traded crop. The trade networks architecture in 2050 and 2080 will be very different from the one we actually know, with a clear shift of the trade pole from the Western toward the Eastern economies. The dramatic changes of global food-sources and trade patterns will jeopardize the water resources of new regions while exacerbating the pressure in those areas that will continue serving food also in the future. In spite of this, trade may annually save around 40–60 m3 of water per person, compared to a situation where countries are self-sufficient.

In Central Tunisia, more than 800 reservoirs have been built since the 1950s. These have been the subject of an abundant literature by both social and physical scientists. However, this literature, which is highly segmented and often centred on the technical and economic assessment of development programs, does not help understand the different logics at work in the appropriation of these technical objects by the different actors involved. To achieve this goal, our research based on a "sociohydrological negotiation", articulates the methods and research questions of hydrology and anthropology on a same case study in Central Tunisia. An initial survey of water use and management practices around hillside reservoirs in the Merguellil Catchment revealed the wide variety of the infrastructures and the multiple functions they fulfil. These initial observations underpinned the process of negotiating an interdisciplinary framework to analyze the social, physical and technical dimensions of hillside reservoirs. To trace the history of watershed development policies implemented in the Merguellil Catchment, we first examined the multiple embedded logics underlying Tunisian hillside reservoir planning. This led to the production of “sociohydrological narratives” for four hillside reservoirs that both combined and enabled us to analyze the inhabitants’ own accounts of their reservoir history. This ethnographical material was then examined through the lense of a “resource making process”. Considering the way in which hydraulic objects function in a landscape that is both socio-political and hydrological enabled us to analyze the different aspects of this resource making process, from water valuation to the production of “hydraulic localities”.

This study focused on simulating future water footprint (WF) of two agronomically important crops (i.e., wheat and maize) using deep neural networks (DNN) method in Nile delta. DNN model was calibrated and validated by using 2006–2014 and 2015–2017 datasets. Moreover, future data (2022–2040) were obtained from three Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 2.6, 4.5, and 8.5, and incorporated into DNN prediction set. The findings showed that determination-coefficient between historical-predicted crop evapotranspiration (ETc) varied from 0.92 to 0.97 for two crops. The yield prediction values of wheat-maize deviated within the ranges of −3.21% to 3.47% and −4.93% to 5.88%, respectively. Based on the ensemble of RCP, precipitation was forecasted to decease by 667.40% and 261.73% in winter and summer in western as compared to eastern, respectively, which will ultimately be dropped to 105.02% and 60.87%, respectively parallel to historical. Therefore, the substantial fluctuations in precipitation caused an obvious decrease in green WF of wheat (i.e., 24.96% and 37.44%) in western and eastern, respectively. Additionally, for maize, it induced a 103.93% decrease in western and an 8.96% increase in eastern. Furthermore, increasing ETc by 8.46% and 12.45% gave rise to substantially increasing (i.e., 8.96% and 17.21%) in western for wheat-maize compared to the east, respectively. Likewise, grey wheat-maize WF findings reveals that there was an increase of 3.07% and 5.02% in western as compared to −14.51% and 12.37% in eastern. Hence, our results highly recommend the optimal use of the eastern delta to save blue-water by 16.58% and 40.25% of total requirements for wheat-maize in contrast to others. Overall, the current research framework and results derived from the adopted methodology will help in optimal planning of future water under climate change in the agricultural sector.

An appropriate agricultural development pathway should be determined, which may include larger land extensions and water consumption or more intensive use of smaller extensions and optimized water use. This study addresses this question in the Eastern Nile Basin countries (ENC), namely Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia, where such research is scarce. We utilized open-source datasets, based on relevant remote sensing products and agricultural statistics (harvested area, production, yield, and water footprint [WFP]), to understand the spatio-temporal variability of cropland performance. The study proposes a scenario-based approach that evaluates four development pathways towards sufficient crop production by 2050 in the ENC. While the extensification pathway suggests a continuation of the business-as-usual, i.e., same average WFP and yield values (horizontal scenario), three intensification pathways assume that increased efficiency can improve WFP and yield values (vertical scenarios). Results show that substantial amounts of water and land could be saved by 2050 by following the vertical development pathways. Nonetheless, the three countries, especially Egypt, are expected to face enormous challenges to satisfy their future demand for the main crops by 2050. Our research provides key messages to promote cooperation between the three countries by following a regional benefit-sharing approach to the challenge. The findings of the current study have deep implications on sustainable natural resources development and water and food security in such a vital and conflicted region.
