Water & Food Nexus: An Integrated Approach to the Middle East Water Challenge

Tuesday, October 11, 2016 2 p.m. to 3:15 p.m.

Event will focus on water and food security, which is a growing regional and global concern. Today, the world faces a set of complex interrelated problems around the issues of water, energy, and food. Worldwide energy demands are expected to double by 2050, along with a 50 percent growth in demand for food and water. Understanding the dynamics and linkages between these three sectors is needed to understand potential opportunities, trade-offs, and synergies and to develop integrated solutions to the growing demand for resources. The Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd Program for Strategic Research and Studies Program and its partners are holding this event to discuss the potential for utilizing the Water Energy Food nexus approach in the Gulf Cooperation Council and Middle East. In addition to examining strategies already employed by several nations, the event will look at the roadblocks to reform, security, and cooperation challenges in the region. PMBF Program
