The CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food (CPWF) calls for abstracts to contribute to a highly innovative, interactive International Forum on Water and Food, to be hosted by the Mekong River CommissionThe CPWF is an international research program focussing on the need to produce more food with less water in the fields of crop-water productivity improvement; water and people in catchments; aquatic ecosystems and fisheries; integrated basin water management systems and the global and national food and water system.
Abstracts should be restricted to 500 words and submitted on-line at www.waterandfood.org Authors should focus on innovative, plausible solutions to the problems of water productivity with policy and development relevance. All abstracts presented will be reviewed, and will contribute to discussions and poster presented presentations at the Forum. Selected abstracts will be asked to prepare full papers for special issues of international, peer reviewed journals.
The International Forum on Water and Food will address a wide range of topics and issues. For more details of these and the submission process go to www.waterandfood.org
