It is. This is due to the fact that many of those who set policies don't understand the political economy of water. In many countries, water is used not only for producing food but also employment. Unless you understand this critical role of water, you cannot set policies that address some of the other problems and solve the threats to the farmers themselves.
Unfortunately, we have created unintended competition between some of the sustainability policies or climate actions, and the water sector. We thought water was an impact sector, although water is also a sector to mitigate a lot of those other problems. The opportunities that exist in the agriculture sector are too many. Anything you do for the agriculture sector—anything you do to empower the farmers and anything you do to prepare them for climate change, other disasters and extreme events—would benefit other fights, like the fights against biodiversity loss, climate change, hunger, inequality and so on. This is something we don't understand.
The problem is more severe in the global south and in many countries that don't have the luxury that you have to be able to compensate the farmers and change your policies a little bit. In those places, unemployment means migration, tension and war. There are lots of other effects that would not be limited to those regions.
