SUMMARY:At the Center of the Food, Energy and Environment Nexus:  Water is the New Oil
DESCRIPTION:
 Growing more food using less water is one of the 
 greatest challenges facing the global community. 
 Today, agriculture is responsible for 
 70% of water withdrawals. By 2050 the human population 
 is expected to increase by 40%, resulting 
 in a doubling in the demand for food. 
 How do we feed the world and provide clean water 
 at the same time?\n
 \n
 Dr. Ronnie Green will 
 discuss how the University of Nebraska is addressing 
 critical questions about water and 
 food security through the Robert B. Daugherty 
 Water for Food Institute. The Water for Food 
 Institute is a research, education and policy 
 analysis institute committed to helping the 
 world efficiently use its limited freshwater 
 resources, with particular focus on ensuring 
 the food supply for current and future generations.\n\n
