The International Action Programme on Water and Sustainable Agricultural Development (IAP-WASAD) was created by FAO with the cooperation of other UN organizations as part of a strategy to implement the Mar del Plata Action Plan for the 1990s. IAP-WASAD identified five priority areas of action and some common measures requiring concerted action to realize sustainable agricultural development. It pointed out that scarcity of water is a major constraint for the further agricultural development of arid and semi-arid countries. Without renewable water supplies and appropriate and reliable water control and management, sustainable agricultural development is simply not possible.

OBS

Le Programme d'action international sur l'eau et le développement agricole durable (IAP-WASAD) a été défini par la FAO en collaboration avec d'autres organisations du système des Nations Unies dans le cadre d'une stratégie visant à mettre en œuvre le Plan d'action de Mar del Plata pour les années 90. L'IAP-WASAD définit cinq domaines prioritaires d'action et plusieurs mesures communes appelant une action concertée en vue de rendre possible un développement agricole durable. Il fait valoir que la rareté de l'eau est une contrainte majeure pour la poursuite du développement agricole dans les pays à climat aride ou semi-aride. Sans ressources renouvelables en eau, et sans une maîtrise et une gestion appropriée et fiable de l'eau, le développement agricole durable est tout simplement impossible.
