Water at a Glance: The relationship between water, agriculture, food security and poverty (FAO, undated)

Agriculture uses most of the world's freshwater (and not all that efficiently):

Globally
	By region

Sustainable Management of Water Resources in Agriculture (OECD, 2010) – “Agriculture is the major user of water in most countries. It also faces the enormous challenge of producing almost 50% more food by 2030 and doubling production by 2050. This will likely need to be achieved with less water, mainly because of growing pressures from urbanisation, industrialisation and climate change.”
