Episode 58: Irrigation Technology and Adapting to Climate Change

Irrigation and water management technologies have the potential to help farmers transition from seasonal production to year-round cultivation. They also enable farmers to withstand the worst impacts of climate change and unpredictable - and more extreme - weather events. Beth Nanyama is a Market Systems Development Specialist who has been working with the Climate Smart Jobs project to increase access to these technologies for farmers, as well as increasing their access to markets and partnerships with private sector investors. She joins us to talk about how the work has been developed and what challenges and opportunities have been encountered.
