« Drought is one of the major drivers of global food and water insecurity, affecting agricultural production and access to food and water. Drought can, in extreme cases, force people to abandon their land, resorting to migration as their last livelihood strategy1 making the prospect of ending hunger and malnutrition by 2030 more difficult. Land management offers opportunities for mitigating the effects of drought and, more generally, refocusing actions on “proactive drought management”. It also increases the resilience of people and ecosystems to drought.
