Westminster Food & Nutrition Forum Keynote Seminar: Water security 2010

This seminar will examine water use, availability and quality of water, and the management of water resources in the UK and around the world. Planned sessions examine to what extent improved water efficiency can help the food, farming, manufacturing and utilities sectors to become more sustainable. Discussion will consider the progress made on reducing water usage across the food and drink industry through the Federation House Commitment, as well as on reducing water usage across other industries, and identify priorities for further development. Sessions will also examine the impact of embedded water on the UK`s water footprint, and look forward to the possible effects of global water scarcity on future trade and food availability.
