“…As suggested by Pham (2014), to ensure food security entails developing policies that enhance the sustainable management of water and land resources, which will reinforce growth in food production to cater for the growing population. These policies will ensure environmental awareness and sustainable management of land, water resources, and population growth.…”

“…These system archetypes were used to explain current and potential sources of water management and agricultural development policy resistance within the catchment. Formulating a dynamic hypothesis involves identifying system feedback structures that explain the problems articulated and observable modes of behaviour of the system (Pham, 2014; Zare, Elsawah, Bagheri, Nabavi, & Jakeman, 2019). Causal loops diagrams (CLDs) were used to map the system feedback structures.…”

“…The formulation of the dynamic hypothesis followed three main stages used by Pham (2014). CLDs were developed in the first stage to map the subsystems that were considered vital in determining the system in the catchment (social, economic, and biophysical subsystems).…”

Managing water and food systems in South Africa is complex given the factors involved in sustainably managing the sector. To ensure sustainable management of water and agricultural systems, equal access to natural resources, and economic equality, the government has implemented policies to regulate the systems and ensure economic growth. However, the unintended consequences of these policies on the sustainability of water and agricultural systems have not been fully understood in South Africa. This paper identified and analysed four system archetypes believed to have implications for current water and agricultural development policies in South Africa. These are ‘Limits to Growth’, ‘Fixes that Fail’, ‘Shifting the Burden’, and the ‘Attractiveness Principle’. The results show that policies implemented by the government ensure inclusiveness, equal access to natural resources, and improve productivity in the short‐term; the unintended consequences will ultimately undermine sustainability and food security over time.
