Abstract
Policy makers, researchers, development agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), donors, and the private sector share ideas towards more effective policies to improve food security, job creation and water management in dry areas. The conference papers cover the effectiveness of current and alternative water and food policy options and identify strategies to enhance land and water productivity. The conference addresses four thematic areas: incentives for sustainable and efficient water allocation and management; interactions between water management, food security and employment; coping with water scarcity and water and food security nexus policy dialogue; policies for enhancing food security. Summaries of papers are provided.
