All lights are red. The population will jump. From 102 million inhabitants in 2023, it will rise to 116 million in 2040 with, as a corollary, a sharp increase in water consumption. How to feed populations in the face of increasing water stress caused by rising temperatures? Another alarming statistical data : the 8.2% reduction in cultivated areas by 2030. Fertile land cultivated in the Nile Delta is expected to decrease by 30%. Yields of wheat and maize crops are expected to drop by 15% and 19% respectively by 2050. Freshwater resources per capita continue to decline: 1972 m3 in 1970, 570 m3 in 2018 and 390 m3 per year in 2050. If nothing changes, the country will face a severe water shortage.\n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n \nFaced with such indicators, Egypt launched the Water-Energy-Food Nexus (WEFN) program during the 27th Annual United Nations Climate Conference held in Sharm el-Sheikh from 6 to 18 November 2022. Dedicated to promoting an integrated approach to issues related to water, energy and food, this ambitious program provides 14.7 billion dollars in investments around five projects for food security and agriculture, three irrigation and water projects and a major energy project which constitutes a milestone in the green energy transition of Egypt.\n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \nNeed to innovate to succeed in the Water, Energy and Food Nexus\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \nAs part of the WEF-CAP project, FEMISE published in July 2023 a second white paper dedicated to Egypt. The document entitled \u201cTechnology, Research and Development and Innovation: Towards the adoption of the Water-Energy-Food Nexus in Egypt\u201d, contains a series of recommendations.\n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n \nExperts in Mediterranean socio-economic issues within FEMISE and authors of the White Paper, Maryse Louis and Sophie Dahdouh as well as Dr. Amr Radwan, specialist in Research & Innovation Management recommend to persevere on the path of R&D and improve the legal framework related to the use of natural resources.\n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n \nIn addition to enhancing collaboration between the ministries, FEMISE proposes that the country encourage \u201cthe influx of knowledge and expertise\u201d while integrating \u201cresearch and innovation\u201d and advocating \u201cinterdisciplinarity\u201d in the programs of the WEFN. \u201cIn Egypt, WEFN opportunities involve ensuring efficient and re-usage of water, reducing water-intensive crops and switching to more efficient irrigation systems using renewable energy including for production of biogas and biosolids and desalination\u201d, underlines FEMISE which lists nearly ten concrete measures in the White Paper.\n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \nTo view the interviews in full, click here :\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \nVideo editing by Thomas Dupleix\/\u00a9Ecomnews\n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \nRead also: Mediterranean: How WEF-CAP project brings together innovation players in water, energy and food to benefit agriculture?\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \nRead also: WEF Innovation and Technology: Seeds of Change for a Water Wise Mediterranean\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \nRead also: WEF Nexus Technology: Innovation design for circular economy & replication in the Mediterranean\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \nRead also: The WEF-CAP project advocates the creation of a Water-Energy-Food-Environment Nexus Council in Jordan\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \nFor more information:\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \nThe FEMISE website: https:\/\/www.femise.org\/   \n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n \nThe WEF-CAP website: https:\/\/www.enicbcmed.eu\/fr\/projects\/wef-cap  \n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t \n \n\n\n \n \n \nSources: FEMISE, WEF-CAP\n\n \n \n\n","author":404,"featured_media":44053,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[5774,5799,5852,5775,5816,5818,6082,5829,6518,5794,6895,6896,6099],"location":[5600,5740],"class_list":["post-44055","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-agriculture","tag-energy","tag-femise","tag-food","tag-innovation","tag-investment","tag-renewable-energy","tag-research","tag-transition","tag-water","tag-water-energy-food-nexus","tag-wef-nexus","tag-wheat","location-egypt","location-med-2"],"short_url":"https:\/\/bit.ly\/47TTimw","have_related_news":"done","chapo":"Despite recent developments in new technologies, the growing weight of research, innovation and development players, Egypt must redouble its efforts in its ambition to counter the effects of climate change.
