The Future Of Food Depends On Water: Inside The Global Water Challenge | Paul Reig - CEO, Bluerisk

Episode notes

Send us Fan Mail Every cup of coffee, every chocolate bar, every loaf of bread has a hidden ingredient you probably never think about: water. But as climate change reshapes where and how we grow food, water is becoming one of the biggest risks facing our global supply chains. We often talk about climate change through the lens of rising temperatures, extreme weather, or carbon emissions - but behind many of these challenges is a resource that determines whether societies can thrive: freshwater. Agriculture accounts for roughly 70% of global freshwater withdrawals, and the systems that produce, transport, and distribute our food depend on reliable access to water. But climate volatility, changing precipitation patterns, drought, and disruptions in global trade are creating new risks throughout the agricultural supply chain. Our guest today is helping organizations understand and address these challenges. Paul Reig is the Founder and CEO of Bluerisk ( ), a company focused on helping businesses identify, assess, and manage water-related risks. Paul brings nearly two decades of experience working at the intersection of water science, corporate strategy, and sustainability.
