Irrigation Advisory System (SAR): when to water and how much to water? Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) as tools to strengthen the decision-making capacity of family farming.

The agricultural sector faces the challenge of increasing food production to meet the demand caused by global population growth. In this scenario, irrigation and family agriculture (FA) play a central role. FA is the most widespread form of production in the world, representing more than 90% of all agricultural holdings (500 million) and contributing more than 80% of food production. Most of the F...

New technologies to increase water use efficiency in agriculture in LAC by 2030

One of the main challenges of the 21st century is feeding a growing population with fewer natural resources. Projections show that to feed a world population of 9 billion people in 2050 it would be necessary to increase food production by 70%. The main resource for food production is water. Agriculture, mainly irrigated agriculture, is the sector with the greatest extraction and use of water on th...
