This paper reviews existing knowledge about the relationships between climate change, water and food security. It argues that climate change is posing the greatest threat to agriculture and food security in the 21st century, particularly in many of the poor, agriculture-based countries of sub-Saharan Africa. According to the author, the amount of water allocated to agriculture and water management choices will determine, to a large extent, whether societies achieve economic and social development and environmental sustainability.
