Dawn (Pakistan) published an article on the UN Food Systems Summit Independent Dialogue where panelists said, a holistic approach and reliable database on water resources and their usage across Pakistan is the key to achieving food, water, and energy security in the fifth most climate-vulnerable country in the world. The Dialogue, which included numerous NGOs including IFPRI, flagged the need for a substantial increase in research and development funds for the agriculture sector through active dialogues with donors and development partners. There is an urgent need for promoting inter-sectoral cooperation through evidence-based information to ensure water-food-energy security and environmental sustainability for food system transformation in Pakistan.
