Major focus
The dialogue focused on the nexus between food systems and water systems, doing so in a way that acknowledges linkages to other systems that are fundamental to the SDGs (e.g. energy, climate, oceans). The discussion topics addressed this nexus from complementary perspectives: • The five Food Systems Summit Objectives and Action Tracks: o ensure access to safe and nutritious food for all, o shift to sustainable consumption patterns, o boost nature-positive production, o advance equitable livelihoods, and o build resilience to vulnerabilities, shocks and stress. • Key themes and challenges r

Achieved outcomes The global dialogue contributed to the following outcomes: • Build awareness about the key role of water in sustainable and equitable food systems • Identify water-related propositions relevant to the five Food Systems Summit Action Tracks • Ensure water is considered as part of the major issues and recommendations that are taken to the Food Systems Summit through the various work streams (action tracks, levers of change, dialogues, scientific group) • Identify key issues regarding the nexus between water systems and food systems that should also be addressed in the water-related policy forums and agenda (e.g. 2023 United Nations Conference on the Midterm Review of the Water Action Decade) The 9 discussion topics were: 1. Food production increases and diversifies to meet growing demand for nutritious foods while minimizing water use and protecting freshwater sources in the context of climate change (thereby boosting water availability for other uses – domestic, industry, environment and livestock). 2. Water-related consumption patterns of all stakeholders in the food systems – from consumers to industry and producers – optimize water use (for processing and packaging, food loss and waste, etc.) to ensure sustainable access to clean water for healthy people and a healthy environment. 3. Integrated watershed and agro-ecosystem management allows access to safe (pollution-free) and sufficient water for food production and human consumption while preserving or regenerating environmental water requirements (forests, lakes, groundwater recharge). 4. The human right to water and sanitation and the right to food are achieved conjunctly by all people everywhere – in particular low-income households, marginalized groups, women and youth – having fair, sustainable and equitable access to safe drinking water and sanitation, and water for food production, processing, and consumption including food safety. 5. The resilience of water systems in the face of climate change is strengthened to meet the competing demands of agriculture, domestic use, industry and environmental flows. 6. The cross-sectoral and transboundary strategies and cooperation required to ensure water-food-energy security for all and ensure environmental sustainability are in place (jointly managed systems minimize trade-off and maximize synergies). 7. The governance of water resources (in terms of policy coherence, institutional coordination and access rights) at multiple levels – farm, water basin, country, region – support equitable access to and sustainable use of water resources for food, health and energy. 8. The investments – public and private – required to optimize water use efficiency in our food systems and protection of water resources are mobilized and effectively used, and investments in unsustainable water uses discouraged. 9. Science, innovation, and data access from multiple disciplines and traditional knowledge are harnessed to increase the efficiency of water systems for food, sanitation, industry and the environment.
