CLIMATE RESILIENCE CENTER

Our water-smart agriculture program focuses on maximizing every drop:

• Drip Irrigation Systems: Efficient water delivery directly to plant roots
• Rainwater Harvesting: Collection and storage systems for dry season use
• Soil Moisture Conservation: Mulching and ground cover techniques
• Water-Efficient Crop Selection: Plants adapted to local rainfall pattern

Building resilience against dry periods through:

• Drought-Tolerant Crop Varieties: Selected for Zambian conditions
• Deep Root Development: Techniques to improve plant water access
• Planting Time Optimization: Aligning with rainfall patterns
• Intercropping Methods: Combining crops for moisture retention

Protecting and enhancing soil quality through:

• Erosion Control: Terracing and contour plowing
• Cover Cropping: Protecting soil during off-seasons
• Minimal Tillage: Preserving soil structure
• Natural Barriers: Using vegetation to prevent soil loss

Modern solutions for changing conditions:

• Weather Monitoring Systems: Local climate tracking
• Seasonal Planning Tools: Crop calendars and planting guides
• Risk Management Strategies: Diversification and backup planning
• Adaptation Techniques: Flexible farming approaches
