2025 Water for Food Global Conference

How can we ensure everyone has long-term availability of clean water and nutritious food in the face of a changing climate? With a theme of A Resilient Future: Water and Food for All, the Water for Food Global Conference tackles this critical question, convening global experts to explore innovative solutions and build a more resilient tomorrow. Now in its 11th year, the conference brings together thought leaders working to solve one of the world’s most pressing issues — feeding a growing planet while preserving our precious natural resources. The conference will be held April 28–May 2, 2025 and is hosted by the Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute at the University of Nebraska. Experts and practitioners in global food and water security will share research results, case studies and perspectives on how to achieve improved water use in agriculture and increase productivity at a variety of scales. In addition to engaging educational sessions, the conference also includes field visits and research site tours so attendees can meet local growers and researchers to experience the knowledge firsthand.
