The seminar brings together experts working in the fields of agriculture, water, food security and rural development. The aim is to discuss the challenges and opportunities of smallholder family farms in countries such as Mozambique with regard to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals on water (SDG 6) and nutrition (SDG 2).

The project "Increasing Water Productivity for Nutrition-Sensitive Agriculture" aims to empower family farmers in countries like Mozambique to achieve higher yields and food security through sustainable management practices. The catalogue of measures includes the introduction of new drought-resistant varieties/crops, improved rainwater management as well as cultivation techniques and soil management. The project is being implemented in six pilot countries, including Mozambique, for a period of three years.

ATB scientist Dr. Katrin Drastig is co-chair of the international Technical Advisory Group for Water Use of the FAO-LEAP Partnership (recent publication on the "Water use in livestock production systems and supply chains - Guidelines for assessment"). As an expert on water use and water productivity issues, her contribution focuses on the topic: "Sustainable water management for food-sensitive agriculture: methods for evaluating agricultural measures".
