The partnership encompasses a range of issues such as climate change, seafood, commodities, deforestation, landscapes, and water. As part of this partnership, WWF-UK would like to commission a study to examine trends and potential future developments in global sourcing areas for UK imported fruit and vegetables (F&V). We are seeking proposals from suitably experienced consultancies and specialists to address the following questions: - Given current trends in climate, economic development and production volumes, which existing major global sourcing areas for irrigated fruit or vegetables are likely to see increased or reduced production, and what are the associated changes in water stress and biodiversity? - What new areas are likely to emerge as important export- focused production areas for F&V, and what is the likely scale of increased water use for agriculture, loss of freshwater and terrestrial biodiversity. For these emerging areas, what is their vulnerability to climate change impacts? We would like to understand these trends in the short (5-10 years) and longer term (10-20 years) and, for existing major sourcing countries, how this might affect sub-country level sourcing areas.
