Abstract:	"Agriculture consumes 70% of the world's developed freshwater supplies. By improving the productivity of water used for agriculture, it is possible to reduce the amount of additional water withdrawals needed to feed the world's growing population. What steps can policy makers take now? And where should we invest in research for the future?"
