Operation

Water management in agroecology

As part of an agroecological approach to ecological intensification, this operation is designed to optimise the use of natural resources, including water, with soil and solar energy, the foundation of farm production. Sustainable water resource management implies evaluating, sharing and building on water-efficient farming practices. In addition to steering efforts and working on different types of irrigation, this operation targets the promotion of more water-efficient growing practices, cropping techniques that increase the amount of water that can be absorbed by the soil and those that help decrease evaporation (mulching, etc.) Treating effluents via taro patches on Wallis and Futuna is an example of a working solution to be brought back into use.
