Los progresos alcanzados en el logro de los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio (ODM) en África se ven perjudicados por su incapacidad para reducir la desnutrición, en parte debido a que los esfuerzos por incrementar la producción agrícola se circunscriben al ODM 7, en particular a la conservación de los bosques y de los recursos hídricos. Ello implica que el aumento de la producción agrícola se afronta desde el punto de vista del desarrollo de la agricultura intensiva. Este artículo plantea el papel crítico que el desarrollo de la gestión de los recursos hídricos va a ejercer en la intensificación de la agricultura africana. Se argumenta que los fracasos anteriores en el desarrollo del regadío se ven complicados en la actualidad, cuando se observa un aumento de la competencia por la tierra y el agua para riego. El artículo concluye que estas tendencias aumentan la incertidumbre sobre el futuro de la mejora de la nutrición, necesaria para alcanzar los ODMs en África.____________________________________________________Progress in achieving the Millenium Development Goals (MDG) in Africa has been undermined by failure to reduce under-nutrition, yet efforts to increase agricultural output are circumscribed by indicators for MDG 7, particularly with regard to maintenance of forested areas and conservation of water resources. This implies that increasing agricultural production must be sought from agricultural intensification. The paper sets out the critical role that development of water resource management will play for agricultural intensification in Africa. It argues that past failure to invest in water for agriculture is now compounded by recent trends that are intensifying competition for land and water for agriculture. The paper concludes these are likely to increase uncertainty about prospects for improved nutrition that underpins the achievement of the MDGs in Africa.
