This project aims to increase agricultural water use efficiency and productivity, reduce water demand, and protect mainly superficial and groundwater in the Grande de Amacuzac basin.
A farmer's retention plan centered on adopting and renewing irrigation management practices has been devised throughout the project's implementation. As part of this program, farmers are encouraged to participate in ongoing training sessions and receive economic incentives for reducing their wat…
The project will be implemented based on the three ESG axes: ● Environmental: Using Big Data, crops will be monitored and farmers will know how much and how to irrigate. This will generate an efficient use of water in the impacted hectares, water cubic meters will be saved and the basin's health will be improved. ● Social: Farmers and stakeholders will be in an ongoing education program through the support of Kilimo experts team and the Irrigation Academy. ● Governance: A culture of sustainability will be promoted among the investor company’s employees through internal communication kits and the visits of the company’s team to the project area.
