With an increasing global population and food demand expected to rise by 50% by 2050, along with the increasing disruptions to water and food systems due to climate change and global conflict, the work of the Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute at the University of Nebraska is more important than ever.
DWFI continues to focus on ensuring a sustainable future with access to nutritious food and clean water and is uniquely positioned to advance water management for greater food security.
Throughout its 15-year history, the institute has leveraged the world-class research at the University of Nebraska; the state’s expertise in agricultural and water resource management; and private sector partnerships to make real progress toward a water- and food-secure future for all.
