Dry season vegetable farming can bring substantial additional income and provide supplementary food for household consumption.

Source of water, irrigation, and water management techniques play a critical role in the success of dry season farming.

Following GASIP support to selected communities by the provision of solar-mechanized boreholes and water storage facilities:

We entreat all supported District Department of Agriculture to facilitate the process of creating water distribution systems in the Conservation Agriculture fields.

A typical example is the case of Duori community in the Jirapa Municipal where the group has been able to connect water to the entire 2-acre field by themselves.

We expect Agricultural Extension Agents to lead the other supported groups in developing their own mechanisms system of ensuring full coverage of water on the 2-acre land.

Interested Districts can contact the Jirapa Mun. Crop Officer Adams on 054 044 4449 for technical assistance in this regard.
