Abstract

Policymakers in South Asia would like to reduce energy subsidies, rationalize groundwater extraction and improve irrigation efficiency, without making farmers worse off. This article identifies knowledge gaps in the water–energy–food–poverty nexus where rigorous research can generate important policy insights.
