    Ethiopian dairy cooperatives use irrigation for forage production, increasing farmers’ incomes and resilience


    “Our collaboration with the ILSSI project has enabled us to increase our milk production and sales considerably,”
    said Alemu Demoze, the chairman of the Genet Lerobit Dairy Cooperative in Bahir Dar Zuria district, Ethiopia.

Small scale irrigation can contribute to meeting food demands, achieving nutritional health, and increasing incomes for smallholder farmers and entire communities in sub-Saharan Africa.

The challenge now is to expand the use of irrigation in ways that are equitable, economically viable, and environmentally sustainable.

ILSSI’s research through 2023 focuses on generating evidence for effective expansion and inclusive access to small scale irrigation, while boosting social and ecological resilience. Read more about ILSSI in this overview of our program.
