  5. High-Quality Food fromCropand Livestock underWaterScarcity Integrated Interdisciplinary Approach Combining Disciplinary Basic Research on Genetic & Physiological Basis of Adaptation and Mitigation • Aims • A To explore the effects of water scarcity on the quantity and quality of irrigation water and the consequences on soils and plants • B To explore and enhance possibilities of adaptation of crops to stress through reduced water availability and quality • C To explore and enhance possibilities of adaptation of livestock to stress through reduced water availability and quality • D To avoid negative impacts of water stress (water quality, residues) on food quality and to find options for designing food with positive impacts on health testing physiologically/genetically better adapted varieties • E To examine the effects of water scarcity and policies on intra- and intersectoral efficiency and distribution and to improve depiction of water issues in regionalized models at different stages of sectoral coverage and aggregation
