L’agriculture est le principal utilisateur d’eau dans la plupart des pays. Ce secteur est également confronté à l’énorme défi d’augmenter la production de produits alimentaires de presque 50 % d’ici 2030 et de la faire doubler d’ici 2050. Ceci devra probablement être réalisé en consommant moins d’eau, principalement en raison des pressions croissantes résultant de l’urbanisation, de l’industrialisation et du changement climatique. Dans ce contexte, il est important qu’à l’avenir les agriculteurs reçoivent les bons signaux pour augmenter l’efficacité de l’utilisation de l’eau et améliorer sa gestion à usage agricole, tout en préservant les écosystèmes aquatiques. Ce rapport incite les responsables de l’élaboration des politiques à reconnaître la complexité et la diversité des aspects de la gestion des ressources en eau dans l’agriculture ainsi que la vaste gamme des problèmes qui sont en jeu. Il leur procure également les outils pour le faire, en offrant une profusion d’informations sur les tendances récentes et des perspectives sur l’utilisation des ressources en eau dans l’agriculture, en intégrant notamment les impacts du changement climatique. Il examine les résultats obtenus par les pays de l’OCDE en matière de gestion de leurs ressources en eau à usage agricole, en se concentrant sur : l’ampleur des subventions accordées aux agriculteurs pour leur besoin en eau ; les mesures de protection contre les inondations et les sécheresses ; et l’organisation et la gestion des institutions liées à l’eau et au secteur agricole. Le rapport propose des recommandations concrètes sur ce que les pays devraient faire et sur les raisons pour lesquelles ils devraient le faire.

Agriculture, with its growing contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions and opportunities to mitigate emissions, can help close the gap between existing global mitigation efforts and those that are needed to keep global warming to between 1.5 °C and 2 °C by the end of the century. Global scale and farm scale analyses are used to evaluate both the effectiveness of different policy options to reduce agricultural emissions, and the impact on competitiveness, farm income, food security, and government finances. In order to contribute to global mitigation efforts, countries will need to design agricultural policy measures that can navigate these trade-offs within the context of their national policy priorities and objectives. As most countries have not yet implemented policies to reduce emissions from agriculture, the analyses provided here come at an opportune time to inform this policy development.

As part of the OECD Green Growth Strategy, this new series aims to provide in-depth reviews of the green growth issues faced by different sectors. The agriculture and fisheries sectors have an important role to play in contributing to greener growth, in particular through facilitating the uptake of green technologies and management practices and reducing waste in the food chain. This will involve a range of policies, including: the reform of environmentally harmful subsidies that distort efficient resource use; freer international trade; shifting towards targeted policies that will support poor and vulnerable farmers; rewarding the provision of ecosystem services; and encouraging R&D, technologies and management practices that improve the productivity of resource use. Framing appropriate “greening” policies is also a major governance issue which requires examining the incentives and disincentives generated by policies, as well as the regulatory and institutional framework more broadly.

La Stratégie de l’OCDE pour une croissance verte vise à formuler des recommandations concrètes et à fournir des instruments de mesure, notamment des indicateurs, qui aideront les pays à engendrer la croissance économique et le développement, tout en veillant à ce que les actifs naturels continuent de fournir les ressources et les services environnementaux sur lesquels repose notre bien-être. La Stratégie propose un cadre d’action adaptable selon les spécificités nationales et le stade de développement des pays. Ce rapport étudie divers aspects de la croissance verte dans les secteurs de l’agriculture et de la pêche.

Across the OECD, farmers are voluntarily forming community-based associations to help achieve a more sustainable agriculture. What are the reasons behind this phenomenon? How can it be encouraged? To what extent can such group-based voluntary action substitute for, or complement, existing agri-environmental policy measures? In attempting to answer these questions the study looks at the recent development of landcare groups in Australia, Canada, the Netherlands and New Zealand. It also identifies the conditions under which such groups seem to work most effectively, and the types of issues for which they are best suited. The analysis of the different national experiences leads to a number of general observations and specific policy recommendations. In so doing, the study provides a new perspective on the role of voluntary, collective action in finding local solutions to local environmental issues.
