Call for input: UN Special Rapporteur’s report on “Water and food nexus: a human rights approach to water management in food systems”

Guaranteeing the human right to water for the most impoverished people requires restoring the good state of the aquatic ecosystems on which they depend for their water supply. In addition, overexploitation and pollution of aquatic ecosystems often undermine small-scale food production for self-consumption in impoverished rural communities.

Mr. Arrojo-Agudo is calling on member states, non-state actors, civil society, academia, indigenous peoples, individuals, and other relevant stakeholders to send their contributions and experiences related to the sustainability of aquatic ecosystems and freshwater sources and the systems used to produced food.
