Irrigation for a resilient and sustainable agriculture

For achieving the objectives:
goal 7
goal 13
Recipient country: Vanuatu

Period: 2017-2018

Description

The Italian Ministry of the Environment, Land and Sea has funded the climate change mitigation and adaptation project under the Memorandum of Understanding between the governments of Italy, Austria, Luxemburg, Spain and the Smaller Island States of the Pacific Islands.

The project provides for the realization of zero-GHG-emission irrigation systems for 6 farms located in three islands of the Republic of Vanatu: Tanna, Efate and Santo. These are low-water consumption drip irrigation systems powered by photovoltaic pumps. The results of this pilot experience will be diffused to encourage the use of low-carbon technologies locally.
