By installing drip irrigation, these Gujarati farmers have built their resilience to climate change, leading to enhanced crop yields, improved soil health, and increased farmer incomes.
In Gujarat, India, farmers confront the harsh realities of climate change, from erratic droughts to unseasonal rainfall and declining water tables. AKF’s Drip Irrigation Programme, implemented across four districts of Gujarat from 2015 to 2023, has provided crucial support to 9,396 farmers, facilitating the adoption of drip irrigation across 20,000 acres of farmland.
