Journal ArticleDOI
Global land and water grabbing
TL;DR: It is found that land and water grabbing are occurring at alarming rates in all continents except Antarctica and the per capita volume of grabbed water often exceeds the water requirements for a balanced diet and would be sufficient to improve food security and abate malnourishment in the grabbed countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Global Food-Energy-Water Nexus
Paolo D'Odorico,Kyle Frankel Davis,Lorenzo Rosa,Joel A. Carr,Davide Danilo Chiarelli,Jampel Dell'Angelo,Jessica A. Gephart,Graham K. MacDonald,David A. Seekell,Samir Suweis,Maria Cristina Rulli +10 more
TL;DR: This review explores multiple components of the food‐energy‐water nexus and highlights possible approaches that could be used to meet food and energy security with the limited renewable water resources of the planet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global agricultural economic water scarcity
Lorenzo Rosa,Davide Danilo Chiarelli,Maria Cristina Rulli,Jampel Dell'Angelo,Jampel Dell'Angelo,Paolo D'Odorico +5 more
TL;DR: A monthly agrohydrological analysis is developed to map agricultural regions affected by agricultural economic water scarcity, finding these regions account for up to 25% of the global croplands, mostly across Sub-Saharan Africa, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia.
Journal ArticleDOI
The water-land-food nexus of first-generation biofuels.
Maria Cristina Rulli,Davide Bellomi,Andrea Cazzoli,Giulia De Carolis,Paolo D'Odorico,Paolo D'Odorico +5 more
TL;DR: A global assessment of biofuels crop production is provided, global patterns of biofuel crop/oil trade are reconstructed and the associated displacement of water and land use is determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased food production and reduced water use through optimized crop distribution
Kyle Frankel Davis,Kyle Frankel Davis,Kyle Frankel Davis,Maria Cristina Rulli,Antonio Seveso,Paolo D'Odorico,Paolo D'Odorico +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combine a process-based crop water model with maps of spatially interpolated yields for 14 major food crops to identify potential differences in food production and water use between current and optimized crop distributions.
