Tony Allan, PhD is based at King's College London and SOAS London. He specializes in the analysis of water resources in semi-arid regions and on the role of global systems in ameliorating local and regional water deficits. He pointed out that water short economies achieve water and food security not on the basis of their own water endowments but by importing water intensive food commodities - a concept which he found he had to call "virtual water." For the past decade he has analyzed our very politicized food system, highlighting that how the "broken" food system operates determines how water is managed and mismanaged by farmers.Brendan Bromwich is an environmental engineer with experience of water problems in complex social and political contexts. He has worked in the private sector, NGOs and the UN in Europe, Asia, and Africa with a focus on water infrastructure and on institutional change. His PhD thesis examines institutional change and conflict over natural resources and is based on hisexperience coordinating UN Environment's work in Sudan. He holds degrees in Environmental Engineering from Imperial College and in Geography from King's College London. Martin Keulertz, PhD works as Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences at the American University of Beirut, where he chairs AUB's Food Security Program. He previously worked as a post-doctoral research fellow at Purdue University (USA) and Humboldt University Berlin (Germany). He obtained his PhD at King's College London (UK) in 2013, his MSc in Middle East Politics at the School of Oriental and African Studies (University of London) and a BA in Political and Social Sciences at the University of Wales, Bangor in 2007. Martin's research interests center around the water-food-energy nexus with a particular focus on the Arab world, North America, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Moreover, he has published on the global political economy of water and food.Anthony Colman, PhD is Visiting Research Fellow at theUniversity of Cape Town, University of East Anglia and the Columbia Water Center. His current work is on the UNFCCC Koronivia agenda to reduce GHG emissions and ensure the adaptation of agriculture. He is completing a trilogy study of Cape Town, New York City, and London's planning for drinking water. He was the UK MP for Putney from 1997 to 2005. He is a member of the World Future Council. His work brings together the disciplines of academia, political realism, and the private sector.
