Feeding the world’s growing population and finding the land and water to grow enough food continues to be a basic and sizeable challenge. It is an enormous task because the increase in food production required to meet future needs may have to be achieved with fewer land and water resources. Yet water resources and land use planning and management are mostly disconnected. With this paper the GWP wish to initiate the debate to coordinate land and water governance for the sake of global food security. They argue that the new geopolitics of land and water calls for a more strategic, governance-level response in which land and water are reconnected and the political dimension of the modalities of their allocation and use are fully recognised.
