DOI: https://doi.org/10.2489/jswc.2023.1220A Interpretive Summary: This article presents a vision for water research supporting agirculture to 2050. It highlights partnership, collaboration, technology and transdisciplinary research. Technical Abstract: More than 40 leading US agricultural and water scientists developed a water research vision designed to address the most critical water and agricultural challenges in a changing climate to sustain agricultural production and natural systems. Water sustainability can only be realized by balancing the needs of agriculture, society, and ecosystems (Pastor et al. 2019) (figure 1). To address these competing demands, USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists worked with a broad group of partners to develop a national Water Research Vision (Vision) for the next 30 years (Tsegaye et al. 2022). The Vision emphasizes transdisciplinary approaches to water sustainability that enhance resiliency in agricultural systems that are increasingly vulnerable to climate change. A draft of the Vision was presented to external peers and stakeholders to ensure it reflects their perspectives. The final Vision represents a deep understanding of the role of water in agriculture, the importance of food and water security, and water’s interconnection with other sociocultural values. It also includes recommendations for research and management actions to address pressing water needs across the United States. This article provides our Vision to support collaboration and resource sharing. |
