Estrategias para el uso sostenible del agua en la agricultura

The article addresses sustainable water management strategies in agriculture, a crucial issue given the growing demand for food and limited water resources. Advanced irrigation technologies and sustainable practices are reviewed, focusing on precision irrigation systems and integrated resource management. The methodology was based on a comprehensive literature review of irrigation technologies such as drip irrigation, with a focus on water scarcity aggravated by climate change. The results highlight the effectiveness of these technologies in reducing water consumption by up to 95%, while improving agricultural productivity. However, significant barriers are identified, such as high initial costs and lack of widespread adoption in rural areas. The discussion suggests that successful implementation of these strategies depends on a comprehensive approach that combines the use of modern technologies, effective public policies, and active farmer participation. It is concluded that, although challenges exist, the opportunities for improving water efficiency in agriculture are significant, especially through international cooperation and the implementation of nature-based solutions.
