KIROKA, TANZANIA - 13-10-30 - Rice farmers walk through an empty irrigation canal next to rice paddies in Kiroka on October 30. Prior to using SRI, System of Rice Intensification, farmers constantly fought over water for their crops. An FAO project to strengthen capacity of farms for climate change is underway in Kiroka, Tanzania. "It's something we may call climate-smart agriculture," says mission project co-ordinator Prof. Henry Mahoo, who teaches at the Sokoine University of Agriculture. The project aims to improve land and water management, promote climate resilient agriculture and encourage dialogue and understanding regarding climate change adaptation practices.
