This programme aims to encourage better management of water for food production by increasing the resilience of social and ecological systems.

It does this by focusing on the interconnections between water, food and poverty in developing countries. The programme helps develop water-related innovations by bringing together scientists, development specialists, policymakers and communities.

The website publishes information on its research programmes and projects as well as blogs and related news, job vacancies and events.

D-Lab, run by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), is a programme of academic courses aimed at developing and implementing low-cost technologies to address poverty.
