Since 2010, the Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute (DWFI) at the University of Nebraska has worked toward one goal: a food and water secure world. We help farmers everywhere increase production while using water more effectively and contribute scientific and policy research that informs decision-making and educates future leaders.
We are already seeing the devastating effects of climate change and facing the challenge of feeding nearly 10 billion people by 2050 — which makes our mission more urgent than ever before.
We must expand and accelerate our efforts to develop and deploy solutions, strengthen water and food systems, and reverse the wide-spread trend of water quality degradation.
