Farmer-Led Irrigation in Uganda with UC Davis Professor Kate Scow

Most crops that grow in Uganda and Eastern Africa are rainfed. Climate change makes this more challenging because rainfall is less predictable than it used to be. Irrigation gives farmers the ability to respond to this unpredictability and be able to grow vegetables even when there isn’t rain. Kate Scow of UC Davis explains her team's research with farmers, irrigation specialists, social workers, and students in Uganda with a project focused on participatory research and farmer-led irrigation.
