Water: Between Emergency & restart
The 25th edition of the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought, the Future Food Institute, together with the Water Authority of Campania and the Municipality of Pollica organized a virtual summit called "Water, between emergency and restart - biodiversity at risk and urgent policy solutions for a climate smart economy," focused on the dramatic effects (ranging from the loss of biodiversity to the impoverishment of agricultural land and the increase of erosion) caused by drought and increasing desertification in the south of Italy.
The summit also saw the signature of a collaboration agreement - identified by the acronym "CLUSTER - Clever Use of Water" - focused on intelligent uses of water, research, promotion and education related to water saving, and testing of technological solutions.
