Irrigation earns flood-prone farmers US$4,344 a hectare (SciDev.Net)

July 27, 2019


SciDev.Net reported on a study by IFPRI researchers on flood recession agriculture in Northern Ghana. The article noted the study’s finding that promoting flood recession agriculture has the potential to reduce seasonal migration during the dry season and quoted Research Fellow Bedru Balana who stated that this low-input agricultural practice can help farmers increase production and, consequently, food security. The article also emphasized the finding that using this supplementary irrigation is projected to yield about $4,000 more per hectare than a low rainfall scenario.
