Abstract

The United Nations, through its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), promotes the eradication of hunger and clean accessible water to all, for both consumption and irrigation purposes (https:// sdgs.un.org/goals/goal2). Progress at the global scale requires the continuous production and supply of agricultural products [1]. However, climate change poses a significant threat due, in part, to impacts from larger and more frequent floods and severe storms [2-4]. Between 2008 and 2018, floods alone caused $21 billion in agricultural losses in developing countries [5,6].
