Water for Food Global Conference
May 8-9, 2023 | Lincoln, Nebraska

CULTIVATING INNOVATION: SOLUTIONS FOR A CHANGING WORLD


The 2023 Water for Food Global Conference will focus on innovative ways to improve water and food security by increasing farmers’ and food and water systems' resiliency to a changing landscape. The challenges of climate change, soil degradation, water access and management, economic disparity and conflict bring about extreme competition for urban and rural water.



The two-day conference, situated in the middle of a living laboratory and atop the vast Great Plains Aquifer, will provide a platform to explore win-win scenarios to support improved water use in agriculture and increase productivity at a variety of scales – from smallholders, collectives and coops to commercial farm operations – while preserving water resources for other human and environmental needs.
