Rainwater harvesting, conservation agriculture, and drip irrigation for smallholder vegetable producers in Guatemala and Honduras

Abstract

With funding provided by the Horticulture Innovation Lab and in collaboration with existing Feed the Future initiatives in Guatemala and Honduras, the use of low-pressure drip irrigation systems and rainwater harvesters by impoverished farmers are being evaluated. This includes the actual installation of the systems, their use in household water use decisions, and the use of conservation agriculture practices to improve soil health.
