The expert-workshop aims to advance and harmonize assessment of water use in livestock production systems and supply chains worldwide. The event is hosted by ATB in hybrid format and sponsored by the OECD Co-operative Research Programme: Sustainable Agricultural and Food Systems.

The workshop will assess the implementation of guidelines for water use developed by the Technical Advisory Group for FAO’s Livestock Environmental Assessment and Performance (LEAP) Partnership. It will analyze case studies in which the recently developed LEAP guidelines have been applied and will advance and harmonize methods and techniques to assess and reduce water use impact of livestock production systems and supply chains.

Different livestock water use assessment methodologies will be reviewed for their scientific robustness and practicality, focussing on the water scarcity footprint and water productivity indicators, the model calculations, data requirements and scale of analysis to help provide a sound understanding of the pressure exerted by the livestock production sector on water resources to support improvements to livestock water productivity and a reduction of its contribution to water scarcity.
