Cork, Ireland, October 17, 2013 --(PR.com)-- This BlueTech® Webinar is from the Smart Water Practice area.

Industries around the world are seeking new ways to make every drop of water count and agriculture is no different. According to USAID, water scarcity affects more than 40 percent of the world's population, and approximately 70 percent of fresh water is used for agriculture. That leaves no surprise that the US Agency for International Development and the Swedish government recently announced a $25 million grant program to increase access to clean water for farming.

Many factors threaten the future of farming. Variation in soil compositions, inefficient irrigation and poor drainage to name a few. Irrigated agriculture represents 20% of the total cultivated land but contributes 40% of the total food produced worldwide. At BlueTech Research, they track the market opportunities to determine where investments and innovative technologies could make the most impact.
