Small Grant 505

Title: Enabling Endogenous Potential for Improved Management and Conservation of Water Resources in Semi-Arid Andean Ecosystems

Project Leader: Stephen Sherwood, Max Ochoa, Liborio Oporto

About the project:

The Project aims at developing effective and cheap ways of capturing and storing water for agriculture in dry or arid zones. This low cost technology has the potential of considerably increasing agriculture production, so that food safety, nutrition and health are improved.

Farmer-led experimentation and farmer-to-farmer exchanges have proven to improve natural resource management through a process of technology development and social organization.
