SMART is looking for candidates for a Master 2 internship on the link between international trade and the use of water resources in agriculture.

International trade can reinforce or compensate for disparities in water resources between countries. Higher prices for agricultural products on the global market may encourage a more intensive use of irrigation, even in arid countries. The case of Tunisia, which cultivates products with various requirements in water resources employing different production technologies, and where irrigation accounts for 37% of the agricultural GDP, appears an ideal virtual laboratory for modeling the relationship between the water footprint of the agricultural sector, the price of irrigated products on (inter)national markets, and the potential impact of trade policies on irrigation practices. This internship aims to lay the foundations for a future PhD thesis project on this topic. It will be co-supervised by Angela Cheptea and Catherine Laroche-Dupraz.
