Oti River Farmer Irrigation Pilot
A proposed solar-powered irrigation model intended to help smallholder farmers grow more reliably along the Oti River.
Why this work matters
Rain-fed farming leaves households exposed to increasingly uncertain seasons. Small, well-managed irrigation systems could support food production, income and more regenerative land use.
Our approach
How the work takes shape.
- 01
Small pilot plots with participating farmers
- 02
Solar-powered water delivery
- 03
Efficient irrigation and soil-cover practices
- 04
Learning, monitoring and adaptation before expansion
Project context
We prioritise practical systems that local farmers can understand and manage.
We are designing the pilot with women farmers at its centre.
We will begin implementation when land, water, technical and funding agreements are in place.
Where we are now
Our work keeps moving forward.
We share what is active today, what we have learned and what we are building next.
- We are developing this pilot with farmers and technical partners.
- The pilot scale and technology will follow local needs and field conditions.
- Community agreement and responsible water use guide every step.
