What are the ramifications of global food export? Hear the latest from scientists analysing the link between water, food and trade.

What do water footprints and patterns of virtual water trade tell us about the state of irrigation, environmental decision-making and water vulnerability?

King's Water Centre brings the latest scientific insights and geospatial analysis of water footprints in this webinar. Through interdisciplinary debate, this event will offer novel insights on the complex implications of water-intensive agricultural production and trade.

Dr Francesco Greco (Visiting Research Fellow, Department of Geography, King's College London) will kick off with a presentation on "Spatial analysis of Water Footprint and virtual water trade as a tool to disentangle hydro social narratives of water injustice and environmental fragility"
