We are Project Mizu, a group founded by Tomo Kumahira, Ryo Takanashi, and Charles Merriam, agriculture and water industry professionals studying at Stanford Graduate Schools of Business, Sustainability, and Engineering. In 2023, we released the world’s first playbook for catalysts in the water-agriculture nexus to accelerate climate adaptation. If interested, find our Water-Lens Adaptation in Agriculture playbook here (https://docsend.com/view/t5nusawks332an38). <Our Research> Our research distills over one thousand hours of research and interviews into a “playbook” that showcases breakthrough opportunities and winning strategies. Academic research, case studies, technology reports, and public guidelines are rarely designed as digestible, solution-to-system playbooks for catalysts such as entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, and changemakers. We aspire to build a common language to link diverse disciplines. <Why We Started Project Mizu> As a crop trader in Kansas, water engineer in Yokohama, and forestry financier in Nairobi, each of the lead authors experienced firsthand that the impact of climate change is most acutely felt through water stress and shifting weather patterns. As much as climate mitigation is urgent, we are committed to accelerating adaptation by responding to unprecedented shifts in weather patterns and water availability. Many share the same concerns. Over the summer of 2023, we formed an interdisciplinary team of 30+ water engineers, agriculture experts, management consultants, and investment professionals to map the adaptation solutions in water and agriculture. We are fortunate to be advised by the world’s leading researchers and practitioners.
