Urban water demand will limit farm exports
17 Aug 2006
The International Water Management Institute advocated that Australia scale back on food exports, and in particular export of beef and wheat, and reallocate water for urban use, where users would pay more for their water. To keep agriculture sustainable and competitive as the price of water increases, Australia would need to grow 50 per cent more food with the same amount of water, the IWMI said.
