Shifts in sourcing regions due to droughts or trade disruptions also change water risk exposure in supply chains, but water considerations are rarely integrated into sourcing decisions. The EU’s 2025 Water Resilience Strategy frames water as a strategic economic issue, signalling upcoming regulatory and trade impacts on supply chain management.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Agtech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Water risk is becoming a strategic variable tied to trade and industrial policy; you need to start integrating local water data into sourcing decisions now or risk regulatory and market pressure. The EU’s approach indicates water will soon alter where and how you can source key agricultural inputs.
