Since the rises in food prices in 2008 and beyond, food security is high on the development agenda. Recognizing that water is an essential element to achieve food security goals, several high level events this year put 'water and food security' as their main theme. More investments in agricultural water management are needed to ensure the triple goal of food security, reducing poverty and conserving ecosystems, but judgments on how to achieve this diverge widely. This is an Inaugural address of Charlotte de Fraiture, Professor of Land and water Development at UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education, Delft, the Netherlands on May 8th, 2012.
