| Abstract: | The paper presents information indicating the importance of irrigated agriculture in providing much of the extra food requirements resulting from rapidly growing populations. It calls for more practical support to be given to the irrigation sub-sector so that some of the concerns about food security, competition for water and rural poverty can be alleviated. Five priority themes for support to developing countries are identified that would be particularly appropriate to utilise UK technical expertise. |
